2.3.2Configuring HPI Clients
Before running your client, you need to configure the multishelf library on the node where the client is to run. The configuration has to be done in the following configuration
Most of the entries should be left as they are. They have been set to values that are appropriate for most operations. The only settings that need to be adapted are those which are related to the HPI daemons that the multishelf library wishes to access. The following table shows the expected syntax of the related entries.
Table 2-4 Multishelf Library Configuration File - HPI Daemon Entries
Entry | Description |
|
|
[Shelf<Domain Name>] | This indicates the start of the definition of an HPI daemon. |
| The chosen domain name appears as name of the Shelf |
| Management Resource and is used as Domain tag. See |
| Shelf Management Resource on page 32. |
|
|
Daemon=<IP address of HPI | This is the IP address used to access an HPI daemon. |
daemon> |
|
Port=<port number> | This is the port number. The HPI daemon uses 4743 as |
| port. |
|
|
Typically you will want to specify both HPI daemons in the shelf in the configuration file so that your application can establish a connection with the second HPI daemon in case the connection with the first HPI daemon fails.
The following table lists the IP addresses and ports of the HPI daemons in a Centellis 4620 shelf.
