A new DDM file to explore


Tags :


As I go deeper and deeper into DDM for the Admin2006 conferences and ND7 Upgrade Seminars, I am finding a lot more things they tossed into DDM.  The configurations and options are getting pretty large.

If you cannot monitor and generate some type of alert or notification for some type of event, you haven't looked hard enough.  Ok, there is one, no disk space monitoring on AIX.

So today I discover and play with DDMdiravail.dat file.  This shows a list of polled servers, port number and rep ID for directories you are checking for availability.  It looks something like this:


1
|(0)
ACME|cn=server1/o=Christest|1352|dircat.nsf| |(1234567D:002E1F0D)|1

ACME|cn=server1/o=Christest|1352|names.nsf| 123456:0046A2EA|(123456D:005C7DC2)|1


So you get the domain, server/organization, port, filename, rep ID and then if enabled or not.  So witha  bit of manipulation, you can understand what is being checked on what port and enablement of the directory for DDM scanning.
