Modify the RPDSsc endpoints configuration file, endpoints.conf, to define how data is routed between NIC ports and the file systems of the data storage server RAIDs.

  • Sample File—sample-endpoints.conf
  • Sample File Location—/etc/natinst/nirpdscc

    • [Endpoint.<Alias>] Section

    Use [Endpoint.<Alias>] sections to define each endpoint, in the format of "Endpoint.<Alias>" where <Alias> is name you want to assign to that endpoint.

    Create an [Endpoint.<Alias>] section for each endpoint in your system.

    Note The alias can contain alphanumeric characters, hyphens, underscores, and spaces. The alias can not begin or end with a space.
    Table 20. [Endpoint.<Alias>]
    Key Value Default Value Required?
    NumaNode The Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) Node ID of the 100 GbE NIC and RAID associated with the endpoint. — Required
    LocalAddress The IPv4 address assigned to the local 100 GbE NIC associated with the endpoint and the port number that should be used when establishing a connection with it (separated by a colon). — Required
    RemoteAddress The IPv4 address assigned to the remote 100 GbE NIC that will be connected to the local 100 GbE NIC for the endpoint and the port number that should be used when establishing a connection with it (separated by a colon). — Required for playback.

    Optional for record.
    MountPoint The name of the directory where the RAID array associated with this endpoint is mounted. This value is appended to the path specified by the MountDirectory value in the nirpdssc.conf core configuration file to obtain the full path to the location where the associated RAID array is mounted. — Required
    Note The RemoteAddress key-value pair is only required for endpoints that are intended to be used for playback data streams.

    Example: 

    [Endpoint.5842_00]
NumaNode = 1
LocalAddress = "192.168.1.1:32000"
RemoteAddress= "192.168.1.8:53000"
MountPoint = "md0"  # RAID mounted at <mount_directory>/md0
 
[Endpoint.5842_01]
NumaNode = 1
LocalAddress = "192.168.1.2:32000"
RemoteAddress= "192.168.1.9:54000"
MountPoint = "md1"  # RAID mounted at <mount_directory>/md1
