We don't specify a port number to use - we use the default port used by your 
ssh binary. For example if you look under 
/usr/openv/netbackup/client/Solaris/solaris10 you'll find the ssh_to_client 
script. On my 6.5 test system line 129 defines SSH as an alias to the binary; 
try modifying the script so that this SSH alias includes the port number 
directive.

Of course this is totally unsupported but it should "get you going". Don't 
forget that when you upgrade these mods will get overwritten...

Are you saying that the NBU script is specifying a port number?  I would really 
be surprised.  Take a look at the script and look for the ssh command and see 
if they're adding a -p option.  I highly doubt it says anything other than "scp 
filename" or "ssh servername commandname."

Try running an ssh command yourself.  If you say "ssh servername echo hey," 
what happens?  Do you have to say "ssh -p portnumber servername echo hey" to 
get it to work?  If so, you're going to have to hack the script to get it to 
mimick that behavior.

BTW, yuck.  Moving ssh's port only adds a minor level of security by obscurity. 
 Any serious hacker would do a port scan and find it anyway.  IMHO, all you're 
doing is making your job harder.

Apparently it does care as the command returns with this error:

install_client_files ssh <clientname>   
       <clientname> ...
Client <clientname> -- Solaris hardware running Solaris<level>
Installing NetBackup software on <clientname>
ssh: connect to host <clientname> port 22: Connection refused
ssh connection to <clientname> failed.
       <clientname> install failed
