port numbers
Environment: Server: OS/390 TSMv4.1.3.0 Client. NT/AIX/Solaris We have our Server set up to use the default port 1500. In the past, we've also made sure that the firewall folks open/define port 1501. Is it necessary to have port 1501 open? I've been told that the server listens on port 1501. If so, what is it listening for? Not a lot of info in the guides or reference on this (unless I missed it). Any help would be appreciated. thx.

Re: port numbers
See tcpclientport option. The tcpclientport option specifies a different TCP/IP port number for the server to contact than the one that was used to make the first server contact. If the default port or the specified port is busy, the server attempts to use any available port. Use this option only if you specify the prompted parameter with the schedmode option or when the schedule command is running. 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.

We do backups through the firewall using SCHEDMODE PROMPTED - for this I believe we opened up 1501. -Original Message- From: Bill Boyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 11:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: port numbers The TCPCLIENTPORT is used in a PROMPTED scheduling mode and the Installing the clients manual states that TSM only supports doing scheduled backups through a firewall in POLLING mode.

Re: port numbers
Based on my experience if the server goes thru firewall yes port 1501 should be opened. If you ask the SA this question he or she will tell you port 1501 is listening on the server. Listening on the server means that if that server is configured to monitor port 1501 for any request. But this doesn't necessary mean TSM can contact the client because it can't go thru the firewall. The best was is test it by telnetting from TSM server to Client port 1501. telnet ip 1501 proivded that telnet is enabled. Sung Y.

Re: port numbers
The TCPCLIENTPORT is used in a PROMPTED scheduling mode and the Installing the clients manual states that TSM only supports doing scheduled backups through a firewall in POLLING mode. So opening 1501, or whatever TCPCLIENTPORT you specify is not needed. You just need to open up port 1500 for the clients to contact the TSM server. You can narrow this down with rules so only these clients can connect via port 1500 only to the TSM server address. You can also NAT the TSM server address on the outside of the firewall.

Re: port numbers
Joe, The default port number for the server listens on for connections from clients is 1500. This will also include the admin clients. You may have set the http _admin_ port to something like 1501; however unless you are admining from OUTSIDE of the firewall using a web browser, you do not need to open this port on the firewall. There is also a port available for use when using shared memory. All of the ports are defined in dsmserv.opt. regards, -=Dave=- -- +44 (0)20 7608 7140 ACCORDION, n.

Re: port numbers
I've gotten it to work PROMPTED, too, but the TSM documentation says it is only 'supported' in POLLING mode. Plus I usually run into issues with the security folk about opening ANOTHER port in the firewall. So unless there's a reason I don't want to use POLLING, I use that for outside a firewall.
