BBCA 8.2.02 release Feature- Light Weight Tuner Administrator
BMC Engineering
© Copyright 12/17/2012 BMC Software, Inc PDP v1.5.01 6
Light Weight Tuner Administrator- Why?
Existing Behavior
- To administer a tuner, we use Infra Admin channel which requires a CMS channel to
be present in same tuner.
Overhead
- Existing design involves a two level connection
Administrator connects to a CMS Machine CMS in-turn connects to End-Point
- This consumes twice the band-width
Current Solution - Basic channel operations doesn’t need a CMS to be running. - RPC can be used to connection and administer end-points

Light Weight Tuner Administrator- How?
Light Weight Tuner Administrator can be used to administer end-point tuners in two ways
Administer 8.2.02 end-points
- From browser connect to the 8202 tuner to be administered over RPC with below address,
http://<end-point_tuner_host>:<rpc_port>/tuneradmin
© Copyright 12/17/2012 BMC Software, Inc PDP v1.5.01 8
Light Weight Tuner Administrator- How? (Contd…)
Administer pre-8.2.02 end-points
- From browser connect to one of the 8202 tuners in the environment,
http://<any_8202_tuner_host>:<rpc_port>/tuneradmin
- In the login page select ”Remote Tuner” option and the specify the pre-8202 tuner RPC address

New Tuner Admin Questions
1. Minimum server side Tuner version to use http://localhost:7717/tuneradmin
[Devendra Vamathevan] Minimum version will be 8.2.02; we don’t plan to back port as there is a simple workaround
Customers have 2 options:
1) All tuners are on 8.2.02 and user wants to manage a single tuner - use the direct connect option connect directly to the tuner and mange using the localhost option.
2) Some tuners are on older version ( prior to 8.2.02) install a tuner 8.2.02 use that tuner as the proxy to connect to the tuner that you want to manage.
2. Minimum client side Tuner version which this tool can be used to control
[Devendra Vamathevan] 8.2.00 all other version are now EOL
3. Release date?
[Devendra Vamathevan] It will depend on how our testing progresses he hope to have it in 8.2.02 or in a patch following 8.2.02
