C.3 Setting host names to be used for communication between PFM - Manager and PFM - Web Console or JP1/SLM

If you are using IP address translation (NAT translation) or multiple IP addresses between the PFM - Manager host and the PFM - Web Console or JP1/SLM host, communication between PFM - Manager and PFM - Web Console or JP1/SLM might be disrupted.

To perform communication between PFM - Manager and PFM - Web Console or JP1/SLM, host names to be used for communication need to be set. How to set host names differs depending on the following conditions:

#

If the host uses multiple IP addresses, the first IP address to be resolved for that host name is used.

The following subsections describe how to set host names to be used for communications between PFM - Manager and PFM - Web Console or JP1/SLM.

Organization of this subsection

(1) When the IP address used by the PFM - Manager host cannot be accessed from the PFM - Web Console host and the JP1/SLM host

Specify the PFM - Manager host name or IP address in the View Server service startup information file (jpcvsvr.ini) as follows, and then restart PFM - Manager.

java.rmi.server.hostname=PFM-Manager-host-name or IP-address (that can be used to establish connections from PFM - Web Console hosts and JP1/SLM hosts)

For details about the View Server service startup information file (jpcvsvr.ini), see View Server service startup information file (jpcvsvr.ini).

PFM - Web Console and JP1/SLM uses the specified PFM - Manager host name or IP address to connect to PFM - Manager. This is because when a host name is specified, PFM - Manager also uses the specified host name for internal communications, so this host name must be enabled on the PFM - Manager host.

(2) When the IP address used by the PFM - Web Console host cannot be accessed from the PFM - Manager host

Specify the PFM - Web Console host name in the initialization file (config.xml) for the PFM - Web Console host, and then restart PFM - Web Console if it is already running. The following table describes the settings:

Table C‒13: Host name or IP address settings

Description

Setting

Permitted value#

Default value

Host name or IP address used as the callback target when PFM - Web Console connects to PFM - Manager

ownHost

For host name:

• Numbers 0 to 9

. (period)

- (hyphen)

• Alphabetic characters A to Z and a to z

The length is 1 to 255 bytes and the name must begin with an alphanumeric character.

For IP address:

0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255

IP address of the PFM - Web Console host

#

If an invalid value is specified or the specification is omitted, the default value is set.

To enable the settings in the initialization file (config.xml), you must restart PFM - Web Console. If any other settings are changed, PFM - Web Console may not function correctly. If any other settings are changed, PFM - Web Console may not function correctly.

PFM - Manager uses the specified PFM - Web Console host name to connect to PFM - Web Console.

The following shows an example:
