Setting the Preferred IP Address

Configuring the Preferred Migration Agent

Server Communications Administration Guide
If multiple IP interfaces are present in the server, you can set the preferred IP
address to be used by CMD. Enter the following command:
Set Preferred IP Address=XX.XX.XX.XX
This option can be used when the SCMD.NLM is running either in the
Compatibility Mode Server mode or Migration Agent mode.
Optionally, the Preferred IP address can be changed dynamically while
loading the module. To do so, at the console prompt type:
Load Scmd /PrefIP=XX.XX.XX.XX
The CMD server when configured on the network, will register itself with
Service Location Protocol (SLP) and register information about the Migration
Agents. It will query the SLP Server Agent or Directory Agent every five
minutes to refresh its records. CMD clients attached to this server can access
all the services that the server can access. This option can be used only when
SCMD.NLM is running in CMD Server mode.
If there are any Migration Agents available on the network, the CMD server
will discover the registered Migration Agent from the SLP database and
register it with the Migration Agent.
IPX services discovered by the Migration Agent are not registered with the
SLP database. The Migration Agent will initially register its own services with
SLP and get information about all the registered services. Once the CMD
server has registered with the Migration Agent, it will get updates from the
Migration Agent through a transfer.
The CMD server algorithm will discover the best Migration Agent registered
with SLP. However, you can statically set the list of Migration Agents by
typing:
Set Preferred Migration Agents List = IP Address/
You can specify a list of preferred migration agents which this node will be
using. The list should not exceed five, should be separated by semi-colons,
and end with a slash (/). For the changes to be effective, unload and reload the
SCMD.NLM.
