Setting Up the Distributed Poller and Reader

OpenLane allows you to offload the Poller and Reader functions from the main Solaris OpenLane server to another Solaris hardware platform. The following procedures use this diagram to illustrate the distributed poller and reader.

Distributed Poller/Reader — Management Server Setup

Procedure

Perform the following steps on the OpenLane Management Server (172.20.1.10 in the example diagram).

1.Stop OpenLane:

cd /opt/pdn/OpenLane OLControl stop

2.Edit /etc/dfs/dfstab and add the following line at the end: share -F nfs -o rw /opt/pdn/OpenLane/uhpoller

3.Stop and start the NFS server to put the sharing into effect:

/etc/init.d/nfs.server stop /etc/init.d/nfs.server start

4.Verify that the directory is being shared: showmount -e

5.Create a directory to mirror the one that will be created automatically on the distributed poller/reader (named poller1 in this example):

cd /opt/pdn/OpenLane/uhpoller mkdir poller_poller1

6.Set up the permissions:

chmod -R 777 /opt/pdn/OpenLane/uhpoller
