Configuring Lustre to Work with Wiretap
 
 
 

When starting Lustre, Visual Effects and Finishing systems running Wiretap servers on the same network are detected and displayed in the Browser by default. The Wiretap Server can be identified by its host name or IP address, depending on how the workstation's network settings have been configured. You can edit the init.config file to configure Lustre to restrict what is displayed to a specified selection of Wiretap servers if you want to limit access.

The Configuration File

All Wiretap-related items are located in the init.config file, located in the following directories:

To display a specified selection of Wiretap servers:

  1. Open the init.config file in a text editor.
  2. In the <Wiretap> section, change the Wiretap server auto-detection state to 'Off'.

    <ServerAuto state=”Off”>

    NoteSettings in the init.config file are case-sensitive. You must use a capital 'O' when setting the auto-detection state to Off.
  3. In the <WiretapServerGroup> subsection of the <Wiretap> section, add each Wiretap server's IP address or host ID to a separate <WiretapServer String> line.
    NoteThe Wiretap server string lines must be inside the open and close comment tags of the <WiretapServerGroup> example.

    For example, if your network uses DNS:

    <WiretapServer string=”berlin”/>

    Otherwise:

    <WiretapServer string=”192.168.0.1”/>

    You can add as many workstations as you need in this list. Just add one WiretapServer line for each workstation.

  4. Save the init.config file and start Lustre.
