Migration Agent Dependencies
Dynamic Discovery of Migration Agents by IP Systems
Protocol Stack Options
IP Install Option
To set up an MA, the Service Location Protocol must be enabled across the
networks, because Migration Agents are dependent on the capabilities of SLP.
The IPX Compatibility drivers are capable of dynamically discovering
Migration Agents, but you can also choose to statically configure the address
of the MA if more control is desired.The IPX Compatibility driver will
discover an MA if it is in the same IP network, and will give preference to an
MA within the local IP subnet. The address of the MA must be specified in IP
systems that reside in different IP networks.The address of the MAcan be
configured either by manipulating the local configuration files or by
disseminating the information through DHCP.
The server and client connectivity capabilities are limited by the options
selected when systems are installed. Systems can be installed with the
following protocol options:
IP Only
IPX Only
IP and IPX
The protocol install option determines the binding between protocol stacks
and network adapters. It does not determine which protocol stacks are loaded
in the system. For example, if the IP option is selected, only the TCP/IP stack
is attached to the network adapter.
Servers installed with IP alone have both the TCP/IP and the IPX stacks
loaded, but only the TCP/IP stack is bound to the network adapter. (Systems
installed with IP and IPX are configured to establish NCP connections over
either the TCP/IP stack or over the IPX stack.)
