4.3.3 Changing communication settings

JP1/Base can be used in an environment of distinct networks by changing communication settings of JP1/Base itself. To change the communication settings of the main part of JP1/Base, edit the communication protocol settings files and register it with the common definition information. For information about which JP1/Base functionalities support the communication protocol settings files, see H. Handling Changes in Communication Settings.

The communication protocol for the main part of JP1/Base must be changed when:

using a host connected to multiple networks in a cluster system.

You do not need to change the communication protocol when you use a host connected to multiple networks as a physical host only.
 
Use the jbssetcnf command to register the communication protocol settings files with the common definition information. The table below describes the seven kinds of communication protocol settings files, which are stored in installation-folder\conf\ for Windows or in /etc/opt/jp1base/conf/ for UNIX.

Communication protocol settings file Purpose

physical_ipany.conf This file sets the IP binding method for receiving and the ANY binding method for sending. It is mainly used for changing the communication protocol for the physical hosts used in a cluster system.

logical_ipany.conf This file sets the IP binding method for receiving and the ANY binding method for sending. It is mainly used for changing the communication protocol for the logical hosts used in a cluster system. This file must be edited.

physical_recovery_0651.conf This file resets the communication protocol registered with the common definition information back to the communication protocol used in version 06-51 or earlier. It is mainly used for changing the communication protocol set for the physical hosts back to the communication protocol used in version 06-51 or earlier.

logical_recovery_0651.conf This file resets the communication protocol registered with the common definition information back to the communication protocol used in version 06-51 or earlier. It is mainly used for changing the communication protocol set for the logical hosts back to the communication protocol used in version 06-51 or earlier. This file must be edited.

physical_anyany.conf This file sets the ANY binding methods for both sending and receiving. It is mainly used for resetting the hosts used in a cluster system back to be used on physical hosts. Using this file changes the communication protocol of the physical hosts to the ANY binding method. In this case, the physical hosts cannot be used together with logical hosts on the same host.

physical_ipip.conf This file sets the IP binding method for both sending and receiving. It is mainly used to explicitly specify the IP address for sending through a firewall.
If you apply this setting to the host connected to multiple networks, only one network will be available.

logical_ipip.conf This file sets the IP binding method for both sending and receiving. It is mainly used to explicitly specify the IP address for sending through a firewall. This file must be edited.
If you apply this setting to the host connected to multiple networks, only one network will be available.

To apply the contents of the communication protocol settings file to the physical hosts on a host connected to multiple networks, execute the jbssetcnf command in the following format:
jbssetcnf physical_ipany.conf
To apply the contents of the communication protocol settings file to the logical hosts on a host connected to multiple networks, open logical_ipany.conf using a text editor and change LOGICALHOSTNAME in [LOGICALHOSTNAME\JP1BASE] to the logical host name specified in the settings for the cluster system, and then execute the jbssetcnf command in the following format:
jbssetcnf logical_ipany.conf 

Communication protocol settings file	Purpose

It is mainly used for changing the communication protocol set for the physical hosts back to the communication protocol used in version 06-51 or earlier.
