Enabling multiple trap
listening ports on the same host
Each
IP Manager
instance has its own built-in trap receiver, and each built-in trap receiver
requires its own trap listening port. For example, if you start two
IP Availability Manager
instances from the same installation area, each of those
instances will require its own trap listening port.
By default, multiple
IP Availability Manager
instances that are running on the same host will compete
for the same trap listening port: Port 9000. If two
IP Availability Manager
instances are started on a host, the second to start will
log an error that states that it cannot open port 9000 and therefore is
disabling its trap receiver.
The easiest way to configure
several
IP Manager
servers running out of one installation is by specifying a separate SM_SITEMOD
environment for each server. This allows you to specify configuration files
unique to each domain, yet still use the core files that are not different
between sites.
The SM_SITEMOD variable provides
a search list that
IP Manager
s use
to locate files. This list is used to find files that have been customized.
Such files include configuration files, ASL rulesets, and scripts. The
components of the list are separated by colons (:) on UNIX. The default value
of SM_SITEMOD is BASEDIR/smarts/local.
