My firewall team looked at the range of ports and laughed themselves silly
before saying, "No."

Mark-

You misinterpreted the instructions. :)  You have to open a boat load of
ports to backup to a master on the other side of a firewall.  I don't
blame you for having trouble, the Veritas documentation on this is
pretty blurry *and* the support center didn't know much when I called
them on it.  If you'll email me back, tomorrow I'll email you the source
and destination ports you have to punch holes for *and* a veritas cheat
sheet they finally sent me. :)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Firewall setup between a server and a client


Hi, how do I setup a client backup through a firewall when using
netbackup 4.5 Mp2. There will be four W2K clients. They cannot ping the
master server at the moment.

The documentation seems to indicate that with 4.5 I can follow the
instructions below... administrators need only to leave port 13724 open.

To set up vnetd between a server and a client

1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Master Server >
NetBackup

Management > Host Properties > Master Server.

2. In the right pane, double-click the host you wish to configure.

3. Select the Client Attributes tab.

4. In the client database list box, select the client you wish to
change.

5. Check No Callback.

6. Click OK.



Is this correct or have I misinterpreted the documentation and have to
open other ports in the firewall?

Thanks in advance, Mark
