Appendix E.5 Setting up Internet Gateway

To run Internet Gateway on your system, you must install Internet Gateway and set it up. You must also set up the Microsoft Internet Information Services and the higher system.

(2) Installing Internet Gateway

(1) Setup procedure

The following figure shows the procedures for setting up Internet Gateway, Microsoft Information Services, and higher systems.

Figure E-5 Internet Gateway setup procedures

[Figure]

(2) Installing Internet Gateway

Because Internet Options is a background service that converts protocols, no icon is added to the Start menu when Internet Gateway is installed. After Internet Gateway is installed, use Control Panel to make the required settings. When installed, Internet Gateway functions as an ISAPI.

To install Internet Gateway:

  1. Insert the Internet Gateway installation medium into the CD-ROM drive.
    The Software Distribution Internet Gateway Setup dialog box appears.
  2. Choose the Next button.
    The Register User dialog box appears.

    Figure E-6 Register User dialog box

    [Figure]

  3. Enter the user name and company name, then choose the Next button.
    The Specify Installation Directory dialog box appears.

    Figure E-7 Specify Installation Directory dialog box

    [Figure]

  4. Specify the directory in which Internet Gateway is to be installed.
    The default directory for installation is system-drive\Program Files\HITACHI\dmgwsvr.
    If the OS being used is Windows Server 2003 (x64), the default directory is system-drive\Program Files (x86)\HITACHI\dmgwsvr.
  5. Choose the Next button.
    The Confirm Installation dialog box appears.
  6. Review the installation, then choose the Next button.
    Installation starts. When installation is completed, the Installation Complete dialog box appears.
  7. Choose Finish.
    If you selected Start Setup in the Installation Complete dialog box, the Software Distribution Internet Gateway Settings dialog box appears and you can continue with setup.

(3) Setting up Internet Gateway

Set up Internet Gateway from Control Panel.

Open Control Panel and double-click SD Internet Gateway Settings to display the Software Distribution Internet Gateway Settings dialog box. In this dialog box, specify the higher connection destination for Internet Gateway and the maximum data size for downloads.

You must have Administrator rights to set up Internet Gateway.

(a) Connection Destination

Specify the JP1/Software Distribution higher system to which Internet Gateway connects, as well as the port number.

Figure E-8 Connection Destination page

[Figure]

Connection Destination
Select whether the JP1/Software Distribution higher system to which Internet Gateway connects is a central manager or submanager. Also specify the address of the higher system to which Internet Gateway connects using the ID key for operations (host name or IP address) of the higher system. This setting is mandatory

Details
You can specify the port number that Internet Gateway uses for communications. The default port numbers are 30000 for the netmdm port and 30001 for the netmdmw port. If there is a possibility that another program uses the same port number, choose Details and change the port number. When the higher system is JP1/Software Distribution Manager, the netmdm port value is used. When the higher system is JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system), the netmdmw port value is used.
(b) HTTP settings

You can specify the file split size for file data that is sent from JP1/Software Distribution.

The proxy server or Web server that you are using may limit the maximum data size that you can send (download). If so, split the JP1/Software Distribution file data for sending. The default file split size is 1,024 KB.

Note that the specified file split size affects the memory allocation performance of Microsoft Internet Information Services and the number of frame transfers in the file transfer protocol. For details, see the Microsoft Internet Information Services documentation.

(4) Notes on the Microsoft Internet Information Services settings

In the Microsoft Internet Information Services, you must use Internet Service Manager to create a virtual directory for Internet Gateway and to specify whether access permission and log file output are required. You may also need to set up SSL.

This subsection provides notes on making these settings. For details about Internet Service Manager, see the Microsoft Internet Information Services documentation.

(5) Setting up the higher system

This subsection describes which of the setup items of the higher system to which Internet Gateway connects require attention when you use Internet Options. For details about the setup procedure and the settings, see 4. Setting Up JP1/Software Distribution Manager or 5. Setting Up JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system).

Page Item Setting Description
Server Customization#1 Max. number of subsystems in which jobs can execute concurrently#2 0 Jobs distributed via Internet Options are executed in response to a request from a lower system. To block job execution requests from higher systems, set 0. For details about the job flow, see E.2 Job flow via Internet Options.
Monitor startup of subsystems OFF Monitoring is not required because Internet Options blocks job execution requests from higher systems.
ID Key for Operations How to resolve IP addresses Use the system configuration of Software Distribution Manager Use JP1/Software Distribution system configuration information because address resolution may fail in a network environment via the Internet.
When resolution of IP address fails The job starts. Set the item in such a manner that the job will not result in an error even if address resolution fails because address resolution may fail in a network environment via the Internet.
Use host IDs#3 Yes Use of host IDs is recommended.

#1
Relay System Customization in the Relay System Setup.

#2
Max. number of relays or clients in which jobs can execute concurrently in the Relay System setup.
