Subject:  Media server outside the Firewall  (Document link: Gary Sperano)

We tried connecting a new media server that is outisde the firewall to our
master server but
 something is not working correctly.  I am going to explain the steps that I
took and tell
 me if I have left anything out.

1) Connected tape drives to helen vi SCSI cables

2) configured new media server to recognize the tape drives
          ioscan -funC tape
Class     I  H/W Path  Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
============================================================
tape      5  8/0.3.0   stape CLAIMED   DEVICE   QUANTUM DLT7000
   /dev/rmt/5m            /dev/rmt/5mn           /dev/rmt/c0t3d0BEST
/dev/rmt/c0t3d0BESTn
   /dev/rmt/5mb           /dev/rmt/5mnb          /dev/rmt/c0t3d0BESTb
/dev/rmt/c0t3d0BESTnb
tape      1  8/8.2.0   stape CLAIMED   DEVICE    QUANTUM DLT7000
   /dev/rmt/1m            /dev/rmt/1mn           /dev/rmt/c1t2d0BEST
/dev/rmt/c1t2d0BESTn
   /dev/rmt/1mb           /dev/rmt/1mnb          /dev/rmt/c1t2d0BESTb
/dev/rmt/c1t2d0BESTnb

3) executed tpconfig ** (tpconfig.log)
     Index DriveName              DrivePath                Type   Multihost
Status
      ***** *********              **********               ****   *********
******
        0   Drive0                 /dev/rmt/c0t3d0BESTnb    dlt      No
UP   TLD(0) Definition   DRIVE=14
        1   Drive1                 /dev/rmt/c1t2d0BESTnb    dlt      No
UP   TLD(0) Definition   DRIVE=13
     Currently defined robotics are:  TLD(0)     robot host = bscs2, volume
database host = bscs2

4) added new media server as a storage unit

5) verified the netbackup services were running  *see attached (bpps-a.log)

     NB Processes------------

     MM Processes------------
    root  2722     1  0 10:46:23 ?         0:28 /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmd
    root  4956  4941  0 12:43:20 ?         0:09 avrd
    root  4941     1  0 12:43:16 ?         0:01 /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid
    root  4955  4941  0 12:43:18 ?         0:01 tldd

5) try to monitor the new storage device in device manager  ** (error)
          - "Could Not start oprd on host Helen: Cannot connect to VMD"

Just as a reminder, new media server is outside the firewall.
     All the ports that are written in /etc/services for NETBACKUP SERVICES &
MEDIA MANAGER SERVICES have been opened in the firewall.  Also, NAT'ing
has also been turned off on the firewall.  Are there any setting that must be
added to
the bp.conf file and the vm.conf file?
