CORBA 2.6.1 Administration Guide

Port
number
Port number on the host system to which the server is listening. The port number cannot be used by any other
process on the host system. At installation, the user is prompted to select a value for this port number.
TCP
process
Name of the TCP process that is managing the selected host address. One TCP process can manage multiple host
addresses. TCP processes can be spread across CPUs for load balancing.
Process
name
Name of the Comm Server process. The system assigns process names for Comm Servers, and the names start with
the environment prefix. You cannot change Comm Server process names.
Processor Number of the CPU on which the Comm Server is running. You can specify another CPU to balance loads across
CPUs. To improve performance, specify the CPU in which the TCP process is running (then data from the TCP
process to the Comm Server does not have to travel across CPUs).
Server Configuration Options
Property Description
Process priority Priority at which the server process is run. The range of values is 1 through 199, the highest priority being
199.
Autorestart
attempts
Number of attempts to restart the server process, in the event of its abnormal termination. The maximum
number is 32767.
Log file name Name of the file to which server process output is written.
Comm Server Properties for Parallel Library TCP/IP
Configuration for Group
Basic Server Configuration
Server Configuration Options
Troubleshooting Options
Property Description
Configuration for Group If more than one group is specified, this drop-down menu allows you to choose which group to view.
Number of Groups The number of groups specified. The usual number is one.
Basic Server Configuration
Property Description
Host
address
IP address of the host system on which the server is listening.
Port
number
Port number on the host system to which all Comm Server processes in the group are listening. The port number
cannot be used by any other process on the host system. At installation, the user is prompted to select a value for this
number.
TCP
process
Name of the TCP process that is used by the Comm Server group. This process must be enabled for Parallel Library
TCP/IP.
Dedicated
server
If checked, the specified Comm Server is designated as a dedicated server. The Location Service Daemon (LSD)
skips dedicated Comm Servers when creating external client mappings. A dedicated Comm Server is used only if it
has a manually entered Comm Server mapping.
Server Configuration Options
Property Description
Maximum
servers
The number of Comm Server processes in the group. The number of maximum servers and static servers must be
the same.
Static
servers
The number of static Comm Server processes in the group. The number of static servers and maximum servers must
be the same.
Process
name
The names of the Comm Server processes in the group. The names must be specified. The number of names
specified must equal the number of maximum servers.
Processors List of CPUs in which server processes can run. Separate the CPU numbers with commas; for example, 1,2,5. You
must enter at least as many CPU numbers as the number of servers that have been specified. This field cannot
contain duplicate CPU numbers.
Process Priority at which the server process is run. The range of values is 1 through 199, the highest priority being 199.
