3 Setting up P9000 mainframe agent
This chapter explains how to set up the environment to acquire storage information using the P9000
mainframe agent .
Setting the TCP/IP port number
Before performing this procedure, you need to reserve a port number for communicating with Device
Manager or Replication Manager software.
For a job that starts the P9000 mainframe agent, set the UNIX service's usage attributes (open a port
for receiving). For details, refer to the Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.
Set the port number in the TCP/IP environment settings file (PROFILE.TCPIP profile, the definition
file related to server functions in the TCP/IP address space).
In the PORT definition of the PROFILE.TCPIP profile, specify the member name or identification
name of the P9000 mainframe agent start job. For details about the identification name, see
“Operands” on page 64.
For the port number to be used by the YKAGENTD job, you cannot specify a number that is already
being used by another job. Specify a port number that is not being used in the system.
Example of specifying the port number
The following specification sets the port number as 24042:
24042 TCP YKAGENTD ;YKAGENTD START NAME
CAUTION:
The P9000 mainframe agent requires 2 sockets of IBM Communications Server (OS standard
equipment). Make sure that the total number of sockets does not exceed the maximum number of
sockets that IBM Communications Server can provide, keeping in mind the number of sockets required
for other services that IBM Communications Server handles. For details about the maximum number
of sockets that IBM Communications Server can provide, see the Communications Server IP
Configuration Guide .
