Agent IP.PIPE partition name
This parameter specifies the partition name that identifies the location of this monitoring server (TEMS namespace) relative to the firewalls used for address translation.
Note: The Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server that this monitoring agent connects to must have a corresponding partition reference entry.This parameter is put into the partition table that contains labels and associated socket addresses that are provided by the firewall administrator.
The labels in the partition table are configured into and used by IBM® products on an external network, outside a firewall, during the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS) connection establishment phase. The first part of this connection establishment is the lb lookup, which requires that the location brokers return the socket address of the monitoring agent.
The partition table is used by the brokers, matching a partition name for a client to the labels in the partition table. On a match, the associated socket address in the partition table is returned to the client outside the firewall. This socket address is used by the IBM products to traverse the firewall and connect to the monitoring server.
Each entry consists of a label or partition name, a protocol (IP for UDP or IP.PIPE for TCP), and a host name or dotted-decimal IP address. The well-known port (Hub port) must be authorized by the firewall administrator.- If UDP is the protocol configured in the partition table, then a range of (UDP) ports must be authorized by the firewall administrator (in addition to the well-known port).
- If TCP is the protocol, no additional ports other than the well-known TEMS port need be authorized.
