2.5.2 Setting up a target Datareplicator's communications environment

This section explains the settings for a target Datareplicator's communications environment and includes examples. You set up a target Datareplicator's communication environment for the service machine used to execute the target Datareplicator's commands.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Settings for a target Datareplicator's communications environment
(2) Example of a communications environment for a target Datareplicator

(1) Settings for a target Datareplicator's communications environment

The following table shows the settings for a target Datareplicator's communications environment.

Table 2-11 Settings for a target Datareplicator's communications environment

Communications environment Settings
/etc/services Specify the service-name and port-number to be used for communication with the source system. Specify this service name in the hdsservice operand in the import system definition. Use the same port number as for the source system.
XNF network definition If the OSI protocol (channel connection) is used for communication#, specify the UCE name and T selector value to be used for communication with the source system. Specify this T selector value in the reflect_tselector operand of the import system definition. Use the same T selector value as for the source system.

#: The OSI protocol (channel connection) is supported only when the operating system being used is HP-UX; in the case of AIX, Linux, or Windows, only TCP/IP is supported as the communications protocol.

(2) Example of a communications environment for a target Datareplicator

The following is an example of setting up a target Datareplicator's communications environment. For details about the TCP/IP network environment settings, see the HI-UX/WE2 Hitachi CSMA/CD Network CD105 (TCP/IP) manual. For details about the XNF network definitions, see the XNF/S-E2 Definition manual.

(a) Example of /etc/services for a target Datareplicator

The following is an example of specifying the service name and port number in /etc/services:

service-name port-number/tcp

Note
The underline portion is a fixed value.

service-name
Specify any name.

port-number
Specify a valid value in the communications environment. No other service can be using this port number.
