Configuring the Communication Protocol to Use
with QCC GUI, QCC PowerKit, and QCS CLI
There are two main components of the QCC GUI, QCC PowerKit, and QCS CLI
management applications: the RPC agent and the client software. An RPC agent
is installed on a server, or managed host, that contains one or more Converged
Network Adapters. The RPC agent collects information on the Converged
Network Adapters and makes it available for retrieval from a management PC on
which the client software is installed. The client software enables viewing
information from the RPC agent and configuring the Converged Network
Adapters.The management software includes QCC GUI and QCS CLI.
A communication protocol enables communication between the RPC agent and
the client software. Depending on the mix of operating systems (Linux, Windows,
or both) on the clients and managed hosts in your network, you can choose an
appropriate utility.
For installation instructions for these management applications, refer to the
