sd-ux doubt

Guna_2 — Tue, 08 May 2007 02:57:00 GMT

Hi,

when we install a software from the depot server, How the client communicates with the server? Is it a rpc call? Through nfs?

In which port the client is communicating?

swagent & swagentd communicate using port 2121 (TCP/UDP)

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

There is no entry present in /etc/services or /etc/rpc for swagentd daemon.

And is it working over rpc?

Shalom,

By default swagentd does not have a reservation in /etc/services.

swagentd is capable of working with remote, registered (swreg -l depot depotname) depots on remote nfs servers. In this case it uses the standard nfs client.

It is also capable of working with local depots, in which the nfs client and rpc are not used.

So the answer to both of your original questions is no.

SD is not NFS based, therefore no need for client or server services. SD uses both TCP and UDP.

The present versions of SD-UX rely on DCE. SD-UX does not use NFS at all, but Ignite-UX does.
