To Change the Communication Type
For managed node platforms that support them, you can choose between
NCS RPC, DCE RPC, and HTTP/SSL-Based.
If you decide to change the communication type from NCS RPC to DCE,
or vice versa, you must update the OVO agent software. If you are
changing from DCE RPC (UDP) to DCE RPC (TCP), or vice versa, you do
not need to update the OVO agent software.
To change the communication type, follow these steps:
1. Verify software requirements.
Make that your managed nodes meet the software requirements
described in the corresponding chapter of the OVO DCE Agent
Concepts and Configuration Guide. In particular, ensure that the
required DCE RPC software is installed and that the DCE daemon is
running if you switch to DCE RPC.
2. Stop all OVO agent processes.
Enter:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/opcragt -stop
3. Change the communication type.
Depending on the number of managed nodes you want to modify,
choose between the following methods:
Small number of nodes
If you want to change the communication type for only a small
number of nodes, follow these steps:
a. In the OVO administrator GUI, select the managed node in
the OVO Node Bank for which you want to change the
communication type.
b. Select Actions: Node -> Modify....
The Modify Node window opens.
c. Click [Communication Options...], and change the
communication type in the Node Communication Options
window.
