This topic provides information about setting the out-of-band mode for servers that support both the CMMPush and IFMPull modes.
Use the oobMode property in the server.prop file to define the mode of operation for servers that support both the CMMPush mode and IFMPull mode. If the entry is not defined, the default mode is CMMPush mode.
With IFMPull mode, IFM sources block data from the IFM LDAP server. With CMMPush mode, the CMM or AMM pushes the IFM configuration to the server.
If the entry is IFMPull mode, IFM attempts first to enable IFMPull mode. If the attempt fails, IFM then attempts CMMPush mode. If the server is one device in a bay that contains two servers, only the IFMPull mode is attempted. If the attempt fails, the device is flagged as Unavailable on the Hardware Devices panel.
