I'm using the SDK in a Linux environment to locally create an enterprise, application, and storage block. As of right now I am only able to use the Commander Utility on the localhost to see this "TestBlock". If I use connect from another machine I cannot see the storage block. I am able to see the Vendor/Application associated with the storage block. <DIV></DIV><DIV>I would like to use this 3PDS storage block as a mailbox. My question is how do I make this storage block visible to foreign machines and allow this block to be read and writeen? The session handle associate with the allocation block only alows me to read and write while running my program. When used from another machine the same session and block handles are return invalid.</DIV> Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:56:16 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Business-Client-Software/Viewing-3PDS-Storage-Block/m-p/825133#M1104 john7944 2012-01-26T18:56:16Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Business-Client-Software/Viewing-3PDS-Storage-Block/m-p/825134#M1105 My current method for creating a storage block in 3PDS:<DIV></DIV><DIV>// Create Enterprise</DIV><DIV> Invoke AMT_ThirdPartyDataStorageAdministrationService.AddStorageEaclEntry</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>// Register an application in the enterprise</DIV><DIV>Invoke AMT_ThirdPartyDataStorageService.RegisterApplication</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>// Create a block within the application</DIV><DIV>Invoke AMT_ThirdPartyDataStorageService.AllocateBlock</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>// Write to the created block</DIV><DIV>Invoke AMT_ThirdPartyDataStorageService.ReadBlock</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>All the return values of these function are valid if done from a local machine and I can see the entire hierarchy of the block (enterprise, application...) using the Commander Utility except for the storage block.</DIV> Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:00:39 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Business-Client-Software/Viewing-3PDS-Storage-Block/m-p/825134#M1105 john7944 2012-01-26T21:00:39Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Business-Client-Software/Viewing-3PDS-Storage-Block/m-p/825135#M1106 It sounds like you may not have the permissions set up correctly to view the storage block remotely.

I do not believe I was setting up permissions incorrectly. Using the AMT WS-Management Flows document, sections 4.18 and 4.19, I am now able to locally read and write to a location in 3PDS and remotely view it using the Commander Utility. <DIV><SPAN style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><BR /></SPAN></DIV><DIV><SPAN style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have seen the HLAPI but I've found the storage sample that is part of the WIndows section of the SDK (<SDK ="">/Windows/Intel_AMT/Samples/WS-Management/Storage/C++/StorageFlow.cpp) to be more helpful.</SDK></SPAN></DIV><DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>My focus right now is on prolonging the timeout associated with a session handle so I am able to access the wrtten part of 3PDS indefinitely.</DIV></DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>Steve</DIV> Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:42:49 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Business-Client-Software/Viewing-3PDS-Storage-Block/m-p/825136#M1107 john7944 2012-02-06T20:42:49Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Business-Client-Software/Viewing-3PDS-Storage-Block/m-p/825137#M1108 The values of the timeouts do not look to be changeable via software.
