The following example is the Agent configuration file on SYSB:
debug_level 7 # Error, Warning, Events
advisor_id 10.1.5.1..8100 # DVIPA of Advisor Agent connects to
host_connection 10.1.1.1..8000 # Source address and port this Agent
# uses to connect to the AdvisorIn this example Agent configuration file for SYSB, the debug level is set to 7 in the optional debug_level statement. The debug_level statement for an Agent functions similarly to the way it functions for the Advisor.
The advisor_id statement is configured with the address 10.1.5.1 and port 8100. This tells the Agent which address and port the Advisor is using for connections from Agents. The address 10.1.5.1 is configured as a DVIPA on the Advisor's TCP/IP stack. The port of 8100 also appears on the agent_connection_port statement in the Advisor's configuration file, and is also reserved on the Advisor's TCP/IP stack.
The host_connection statement is configured with the address 10.1.1.1 and port 8000. This is the source IP address and port that this Agent uses when connecting to the Advisor. The address is defined as a static VIPA on the TCP/IP stack that the Agent will run on. This address and port must also be specified in the agent_id_list statement in the Advisor's configuration file. The port, 8000, is also reserved in PROFILE.TCPIP of stack S1 on system SYSB.
