Configuring Rendezvous for Distributed Components

By default, Rendezvous uses the loopback interface, that is, it does not broadcast traffic over the subnet. If you want Netcool/Precision IP components on one machine to communicate with components on another machine, you must configure Rendezvous to use the network interface.

To configure Rendezvous to use the network interface, edit the NCHOME/etc/precision/Precision.rvd.cfg configuration file to ensure that it contains the following statements:

rendezvous session ={

'service' = 'PORT_NUMBER'

'network' = 'INTERFACE_NAME/IP_ADDRESS'

'daemon' = 'tcp:LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS:PORT_NUMBER'

}

Where PORT_NUMBER is the number of the port to be used, INTERFACE_NAME/IP_ADDRESS is the name or IP address of a non-loopback network interface (for example, 10.10.10.10), and LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of the local machine.
