Chapter 6 HPSS Configuration
HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 351
Release 4.5, Revision 2
port = 5002
user = root
server = /opt/hpss/bin/hpss_mvr_tcp
server_args = /var/hpss/etc/mvr_ek
}
The specified port will be one greater than the port listed as the TCP Listen Port in the Mover’s
type specific configuration. For example, the port value in the example corresponds to a Mover
with a TCP Listen Port value of 5001.
The template will cause the executable /opt/hpss/bin/hpss_mvr_tcp to be run under the root user
ID when a connection is detected on port 5002. The Mover process will use the /var/hpss/etc/
mvr_ek file to read the encryption key that will be used to authenticate all connections made to this
Mover.
After modifying the file in /etc/xinetd.d, be sure to refresh the xinetd daemon using the following
commands:
% /sbin/service xinetd --full-restart
Stopping xinetd: [ OK ]
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]
6.8.8.2.3 The Mover Encryption Key Files
To authenticate accessmade to thenon-DCE Mover processes, the encryption key configured in this
Mover’s specific configuration (see section 6.8.8) is read from a file accessible from the local file
system. This file contains an ASCII representation of the encryption key (the pathname of the file is
passed to the Mover executable as specified in either the /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d file). For
example, if the encryption key in the Mover’s type specific configuration is 1234567890ABCDEF,
then the encryption key file (/var/hpss/etc/ek.mvr1) should contain:
0x12345678 0x90ABCDEF
6.8.8.3 System Configuration Parameters for IRIX, Solaris, and Linux
IRIX
When running the non-DCE Mover process on an IRIX platform, there are a number of system
configuration parameters which may need to be modified before the Mover can be successfully run.
The values can be modified with the systune utility (and will likely require the system to be
rebooted before they take effect). The following table defines the parameter names and minimum
required values.
