IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Scenario 3: Hub monitoring server INSIDE, remote monitoring server and agents OUTSIDE
As part of the configuration of the hub monitoring server, specify the name of the partition that it is located in INSIDE. Create a partition file, parthub.txt, containing the following entry:
OUTSIDE ip.pipe: hub's_external_addressOUTSIDE is the partition name outside the firewall and hub's_external_address is the address of the hub monitoring server that is valid for the remote monitoring server.
As part of the configuration of both the agents and the remote monitoring server, specify the name of the partition they are located in OUTSIDE.
A partition file partremote.txt also must be created at the remote monitoring server. It contains the following entry:
INSIDE ip.pipe: remote's_internal_addressIf the hub monitoring server needs to communicate with the remote monitoring server (for example, to issue a report request from an agent that is connected to the remote monitoring server), the partremote.txt file is searched for an entry that matches the partition name INSIDE and sees the remote monitoring server address that is valid for it (the internal address).
