For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, or for a HiRDB/Single Server that is using the system switchover facility, it is necessary to connect to the remote shell. To do this, you need the communication port's service name^* and the port number for connecting the client machine's remote shell in the SERVICES file windir%\system32\drivers\etc\services for the server machine and the client machine that issues commands. The specified port number must be the same at each machine where HiRDB is installed. The number must be unique within the same machine. The following shows a specification example:

Example

pdrshsrv 29999/tcp

• Specifies pdrshsrv as the communication's service name.
• Specifies any port number. The default value is 29999.

^* When configuring multiple HiRDB systems using multi-HiRDB, you can specify a service name for a communication port for each HiRDB system. For details about the specification method, see 10.1 System design for a multi-HiRDB.

For a HiRDB/Single Server that is using the system switchover facility, you must use the -ro option of the pdntenv command to specify that remote system commands are to be used. For details about the pdntenv command, see the manual HiRDB Version 8 Command Reference.
