Task 5: Configuring the Application Server on the Network
Once the Application Server is plugged into and available on your network, you will need to
configure additional settings to permit it to operate in that environment. Specifically, you will
need to configure Lookup Services to make sure that all devices on the network are visible to
iControl. You may also need to configure the iControl Services Gateway.
Configuring Lookup Services
iControl uses a lookup service for discovery over a network (see "Lookup Services" , on
page 30). By default, each iControl Application Server runs a lookup service that registers and
makes available information about the devices on its network. It will also register with all
lookup services that are running on other Application Servers on the same subnet.
If you have multiple Applications Servers and/or multiple subnets in your iControl network,
you will need to configure these lookup services.
To turn a lookup service on or off
1. On the Webmin main page, click Miranda iControl Management Tool.
The iControl Management Tools page appears.
2. Click the icon beside iControl services monitoring and configuration tool.
The Miranda Monitoring page appears.
3. Click Configure RMID.
Note: Services in iControl are generally administered via a Webmin page. You may
find it useful to refer to
"Starting & Stopping iControl Services" , on page 697.
