APRM.CONF(1)                                                      APRM.CONF(1)



NAME
       aprm.conf - Automatic Partition Resource Manager Configuration Informa-
       tion

SYNOPSYS
       /etc/aprm.conf is the configuration file for APRM

DESCRIPTION
       aprm.conf is the configuration file for APRM.  It contains the informa-
       tion necessary for APRM to communicate with other partitions.


CONFIGURING APRM
       1.  The  server  address  and port specifies the network location of an
       OS/400 APRM partition to connect to. The server address can be in  dot-
       ted  decimal  or  in  server  name  form  (e.g., aprmpartition.yourcom-
       pany.com).

       Server Address=1.1.1.6
       Server Port=10577

       2. On i5 hardware, you may need to specify multiple servers. Each  must
       be  an  i5/OS  partition with APRM installed (or to be installed). Each
       server must have both an  Address  and  a  Port.  To  Specify  multiple
       servers  append  a  number to the end of Server Address and Server Port
       designations, like this:

       Server Address2=1.1.1.7
       Server Port2=10507

       The numbers do not need to be in  order,  but  if  there  is  a  Server
       Address2, there must be a corresponding Server Port2.  Any Address/Port
       combinations that are invalid will be ignored.

       3. The following items control the local address to use for the socket.
       Most  users  should  leave this blank. It could be useful if you have a
       multi-homed Linux partition and want to specify which network interface
       to use.

       Client Address=
       Client Port=

       On i5 hardware, you may specify multiple Client Address and Client Port
       lines with numbers after them, just like the Server Address and  Server
       Port  lines.  The  Client  Address  line  that  will be used for Server
       Address4 is Client Address4.  If there is no Client Address  or  Client
       Port  for  a  given Server Address, APRM will use the default of "none"
       for that socket connection. The "none" default allows TCP/IP to  choose
       a suitable outgoing address and port.

       4. If your Linux system does not supply an iSeries serial number in its
       /proc/iSeries/config   file   or   an   i5   serial   number   in   its
       /proc/ppc64/lparcfg, you will need to supply that system serial number.

       SRLNBR=10XXXXX

       5. The following 3 items are for SSL. If you are  using  SSL  for  your
       socket  connections, you will need to change NO to YES on the "Use SSL"
       line.  You will also need to get an rsa key and an ssl  certificate  to
       use it.  Information about how to generate them is not included in this
       manual.
