These ports are defined in your /etc/services file and are reserved for
specific NetBackup processes.  It is possible to change them but is not
recommended unless absolutely necessary.  If you do have to change the ports
you will need to change them for EVERY NetBackup machine in your
environment, all servers and clients.  The port numbers must match across
the board.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] [DC-3.41] Why does it use low ports


Hi,

i have this strange issue with Netbackup DataCenter 3.41.

bp.conf on Master:
[...]
ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS
CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW = 14000 14100
SERVER_PORT_WINDOW = 14000 14100
[...]

bp.conf on client:
[...]
ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS
CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW = 14000 14100
[...]

Client does a restore, this are some portions of bprd log:

16:22:10 [11031] <2> getsockconnected: host=MASTERSERVER service=bpdbm

16:26:10 [11031] <2> getsockconnected: host=MASTERSERVER service=bpcd 
address=MASTERSERVER-IP protocol=tcp reserved port=13782
16:26:10 [11031] <2> getsockconnected: Connect to MASTERSERVER on port 949

Why the heck do they try low ports ? They can't work due to a paketfilter.

TIA
