Common Communication Interface (CCI) Installation for HP NonStop Safeguard

The CCI component must be installed to enable the HP NonStop Safeguard connector to communicate with endpoint targets. You can install the CCI component by installing either Unicenter or CCISA (CCI Stand Alone). Follow these steps to install and configure CCISA:

1. Locate the Provisioning Component installation media.
2. Run the CCI Standalone installer under \Infrastructure
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
4. In the ~\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\CCI\Caiuser folder, create a CCIRMTD.RC file with the following lines:

   local = <Host Name> <Host Name> 32768 STARTUP
   remote = <Host Name> <Host Name> 32768 STARTUP PORT=<Port Number> RETRY=1
   

   The first <Host Name> value in the local or remote line can be the IP address.

   Note: You must set a port number. If the port has not been changed on the target, the port number is 1721.

5. To improve CCI performance, add the following key to the Windows Registry:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ComputerAssociates\CA

   Unicenter\CurrentVersion\Components\COM\ENV\OPT\RMTHOSTS

6. Under the RMTHOSTS key, create a string value named Default, and set the HP NonStop Safeguard host name in this string value.

   Note: If you do not add this key to the Registry, the CCI response time will be very long.

7. Stop and then restart the CCI service.
8. Open a command prompt and use the following CCI commands to start CCI and test the connection:
   • To start CCI, enter ccicntrl start.
   • To display the CCI status, enter ccicntrl status.
   • To test the CCI connection, enter ccii.
9. To stop CCI after testing the connection, enter ccicntrl stop.
