Setting Up and Operating the ePortal Specialty Engine
Note: If the internal ePortal Specialty Engines are not disabled, the external ePortal
Enterprise System would not function correctly.
1. From the Platform Console, verify that the initial state of all ePortal environments is
set to the Inactive. Setting the ePortal environments to Inactive state, ensures that
none of the ePortal environments are running in the ISM.
2. From the MCP Console, verify that ePortal is not visible from the ISM component
and the s-Par ® node in the Component View tab.
3. From the MCP network configuration files, verify that the default internal ePortal
network connections used by the internal ePortal Specialty Engines are not defined in
the CNS and TCPIP initialization files. By default, NP 210/Line 3 (192.168.223.250) and
NP 220/Line 3 (192.168.224.250) are defined in the default TCPIP initialization file.
Refer to the “Preparing the MCP for ClearPath ePortal” in the ClearPath ePortal Enterprise
Managed Platform Implementation and Operations Guide for instructions on making the
FS6200 Server ePortal-ready.
When setting up the ePortal Enterprise system, use the following information as additional
guidelines:
• Two external NIC ports on the FS6200 Server are required to connect the external
ePortal Enterprise system. It is recommended that the primary ePortal connection be
configured as 192.168.223.250 and the redundant connection as 192.168.223.249 in
the MCP network.
The FS6200 Server has two ISMs and the redundant connection 192.168.223.249
should be configured on a different ISM than the ISM that contains the primary
connection 192.168.223.250. For example, the primary connection 192.168.223.250
can be defined in the ISM-0 and the redundant connection 192.168.223.249 can be
defined in the ISM-1. This ensures that if ISM-0 fails, the IP address 192.168.223.250
is moved to the redundant connection in ISM-1 transparently and both
192.168.223.249 and 192.168.223.250 go through the ISM-1 connection.
• Both the primary and redundant management port (Port 21) of the ePortal Enterprise
system internal switches should be connected to the secure access device of the
FS6200 Server.
ePortal Specialty Engine Operational Considerations
This subsection discusses operational considerations for the ePortal Specialty Engine.
Note: If an optional external ePortal Enterprise system is attached to the FS6200 Server,
refer to the ClearPath ePortal Enterprise Managed Platform Implementation and
Operations Guide for operational instructions.
Starting ePortal Manager
Perform the following steps from the MCP Console to start ePortal Manager.
