4.2.1.1.4. CAL.DAT Configuration File

The CAL.DAT is a mandatory file for execution of the CAL software feature. It defines the interface parameters

between the BCU/CAL and the System Manager. The template file defines 32 example sites, which are commented out
(i.e., preceded with a # character) and thus have no effect when the file is processed. Entries must be provided for each site
interface the CAL will be supporting. The information contained in the CAL.DAT file must also be used to properly
configure the Emulex Terminal Server(s). Terminal server configuration is discussed in detail in a separate section of this
document.

EDACS System Manager site entries are specified in the following form:

SITE.ss.PASSWD

system_manager_password

SITE.ss.IP

terminal_server_ip

SITE.ss.PORT

tcp_port_number

where ss designates the associated site number, ranging from 01 to 32 (inclusive). The site number in CAL should

correspond to the site number of the System Manager port to which it will be connected.

A log file (1.2/log/cal_ini.log) is generated on each system boot. This log summarizes the processing of this file,

indicating which sites are supported, the values assigned as PASSWD, IP, and PORT for each site, and any errors
encountered in processing CAL.DAT.

Parameter

Meaning

SITE.ss.PASSWD

Specifies the System Manager password to be used for logins to/from this site.

system_manager_password

must match the associated value programmed on the

System Manager for the site specified by

SITE.ss.IP

Defines the Internet IP address, in dotted-decimal notation, of the Emulex Terminal
server for the site specified by

. Note that the address

terminal_server_ip

should be

chosen to be on a directly connected network with the BCU/CAL IP address (as
specified in IP.DAT).

SITE.ss.PORT

Defines the TCP/IP port number used to communicate between the BCU/CAL and the
associated port on the terminal server. Note that each terminal server port is
associated with the site number specified by

. The value

tcp_port_number

must be

unique for every site defined.

The following example shows how sites 1 and 2 might be defined in the CAL.DAT file.
