XAM Connection String Question

Studying the documentation for a xam connect there seems to be two methods of specifying the Connection String:

snia-xam://centera_vim!10.241.55.1?name=myName & secret=myPassword

or

snia-xam://centera_vim!10.241.55.1?pea=c:\\MyPeaFile.pea

But if I look at a pea file, this seems to contain *three* pieces of relevant information - the name, the password AND the name of the pool

e.g. name="us3profile3" (and the cluster id, but I don't care about that). This is especially important if there is more than one pool assigned to a particular node ip address.

So my question: If I wish to use the name/password form of the Connection String, is there a parameter to also specify the Pool?

Thanks,

Chris

You don not need to specify the pool - the profile (the user in the case of the user/secret combination) settings on the cluster determine the home pool (for storing content) and access rights for operations on all other pools on the cluster.

Hi Graham,

thanks for the prompt answer.

Am I right in assuming then that a particular user can only deposit content in ONE pool. So (exagerated example) if I had 20 pools I would need to create at least twenty users

Sort of - a profile has a single pool that it can write content to (its home pool) but multiple profiles can write to a single pool (in other words have the same home pool). Alternatively, multiple "users" could use the same profile credentials to connect and thus all write to the same pool.
