Re: 1501?
Just to pick bones, 'cause this just confused someone here, port numbers can go from 0-65535, although I'm not sure if 0 is actually valid. Indeed so. Port numbers also have certain assigned meanings over the Internet, though within the context of a customer computing environment numbers above 1023 may particularly be used as needed. See: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers for defined port numbers. (Note that ADSM/TSM does not formally define any for itself in the world scope of things. Indeed, TSM's customary port numbers, such as 1501, are internationally defined for other purposes. In unusual contexts, this may cause a non-TSM application to attempt interact with a TSM server on a given port, resulting in an interesting protocol mismatch. Hopefully, such an application would not keep trying.) Richard Sims

FYA (For Your Amusement): I don't think port 0 is supposed to be valid, but I have seen it used, UCX 3.x appeared to allow its use, and I tripped over a [badly written] application using TCP port 0 running on and old VAX. Needless to say, it broke after a UCX upgrade :) Cheers, -- Paul Ripke Unix/OpenVMS/TSM/DBA I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. -- Douglas Adams
Re: 1501?
I asked the same question less than a month ago. They ARE the TCPIP PORT numbers. Yes, TSM will use high numbers (5-digits) as will many other products that want to stay out of the way of other products (for an example you can relate to, iManager on a Netware server uses port 51443 by default). Port 1501 is what the TSM server uses, by default, to contact the TSM clients, per this paragraph from the TSM Netware Client book, discussing the TCPCLIENTPORT parm: client_port_address - Specifies the TCP/IP port address you want the server to use to contact your client node. The range of values is 1000 through 32767; the default is 1501. FWIW, when doing port blocking/filtering, 1500 1501 should be open to allow TSM through, both directions.

The Messages manual describes the number as the low address. If you look in the Admin Ref manual, under Register Node, you will see that the low address in less generic terms is the network port number, where 1501 is the client port number for accepting scheduled events from the TSM server. Port numbers are not restricted to four digits, or to any specific number. The clients manual describes their specification. Richard Sims

OTOH, if you do the opposite, you can have your client behind a firewall not opening any ports to the TSM server and you only need TCPPORT (1500 per default) open at the server end for your clients. -- Mark Stapleton -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Remco Post SARA - Reken- en Netwerkdiensten http://www.sara.nl High Performance Computing Tel. +31 20 592 8008Fax. +31 20 668 3167 I really didn't foresee the Internet.
