General Settings

Configure the General Settings page with the following options:

Configuration Type

Specifies the server type to configure.

• Advanced Availability: If you are executing the Server Configuration utility for the first time, background server is automatically selected. After configuring the background server, you can add application or stand-by servers to support advanced availability and failover.
• Conventional: If you are executing the Server Configuration for the first time, primary server is automatically selected. After the primary server is configured, you can add secondary servers to manage high traffic volume and improve performance.

  For example, you can add more Object Managers and web engines to another server. There can be zero or more secondary servers in a CA SDM enterprise system.

Slump Host Name

Available only for the Advanced Availability configuration. Specifies the system on which the server is installed.

Server Id

Available only for the Advanced Availability configuration. This field is automatically populated.

Primary Server Node

Available only for the Conventional configuration.

Specifies the host name of the primary server. This field is case-sensitive. The Primary Server Node value is the same for both primary and secondary servers in the CA SDM installation.

Object Manager Display Name

Specifies the server connecting to the server object managers (domsrvr). All object managers that start on this computer use this name for display purposes only. You can change this value when the object manager is started.

Object Manager Name

Specifies the names or aliases of the object managers to which you want to establish a connection. You can enter a single name or a list of names. The default of ANY connects to any running object manager, and is acceptable in most situations.

Important! Verify the names of the object manager or group of object managers with your system administrator.

Local Host Name

Specifies the name of the server. This field is case-sensitive.

• Conventional: You can enter the value only for secondary servers. This field is case-sensitive.
• Advanced Availability: The value is automatically populated from your background server configuration details.

Configure /etc/services (UNIX only)

Adds the new socket ports to the /etc/services file. Valid only if you are the root user.

Slump Socket Port

Specifies the name of the main communications socket port. CA SDM uses this port for all servers configured in your environment. The default value is 2100. The primary server always opens a listen port on the slump socket port. Every daemon (service) that communicates across the slump port connects to the primary server using this port.

Proctor Socket Port

Available only for the Conventional configuration. Applies only to systems that use secondary servers (proctors). Each secondary server listens on this port for messages from the primary server. Secondary servers open this port only when they cannot connect to the slump port on the primary server. For example, the port opens when the primary server is not running.

Default: 2300
