Assigning a tlisten Network Address

To specify the network address used by the tlisten(1) process servicing the network on the machine identified by the LMID, set the NLSADDR parameter as follows:

NLSADDR=string_value

The value of string is a network address in the same format as that specified for the NADDR parameter.

The tlisten address for NLSADDR may be specified in one of the following three forms:

In the first of these formats, host.name is resolved to the address of the TCP/IP host address at the time the address is bound. This format is based on locally configured name resolution facilities accessed via an operating system command. The value of port_number can be a symbolic name or a decimal number.

In the second format, the string #.#.#.# represents four decimal numbers (each of which is between 0 and 255), separated by periods. The value of port_number is a decimal number in the range 0 to 65,535 (the hexadecimal representations of the string specified). The value of port_number can be a symbolic name or a decimal number.

In the third format, the string 0xhex-digits or \\xhex-digits must contain an even number of valid hex digits. A string in either of these forms is translated internally into a character array containing TCP/IP addresses.

tmloadcf(1) prints an error if NLSADDR is missing from an entry for any machine besides the MASTER LMID, for which it prints a warning. If NLSADDR is missing from the MASTER LMID, tmadmin(1)cannot run in administrator mode on remote machines; it is limited to read-only operations. In addition, the backup site cannot reboot the MASTER site after failure.
