ANS3000I TCP/IP communications available on port ...

[lujo]

Hi,

I can backup via the client webinterface.
I can issue commands with dsmadmc and dsmc command line commands.
But a backup initiated by the backup server fails.
Port 1581 is allowed through a firewall, other ports are blocked.
Communication from server to client does not happen. The client waits forever to be contacted by the server.
The line "ANS3000I TCP/IP communications available on port ..." is not there
on my other machines when I restart the client listeners.
What causes this line to get written to the log file?

Is your schedmode prompted?
Think you have to set the schedmode to POLLING.

Don't know what causes the line.

1581 is the default client web gui port.

Its 1500/1501 that are used for client<->server. If you search this group you'll see other posts discussing it, including yesterday.

Hi BBB,

In my dsm.sys I have in the server stanza:

MANAGEDSERVICES SCHEDULE WEBCLIENT

That means dsmcad listens on 1581 for both the client web interface and
the scheduler. On my clients this gives only one very lightweight process
listening for the TSM server. It's in the manual. It works on my other Linux machines with no problems.

Thanks,
Ludo

The SCHEDMODE on all my other machines is also PROMTED and they
backup fine when the server initates a backup. The only drawback here is that I have to restart the dsmcad listener when I update a node or a schedule configuration. So, I don't think this is why the TSM server
logs the TCP/IP port in the client's log.

Thanks,
Ludo

No it doesn't. One process can listen on multiple ports, and that is what the dsmcad does - by default it listens on 1501 for prompted backups, and on 1581 for web client.

Run "q stat" on the server, and you will see for yourself what port the server is using under "server tcp/ip port number". Default is 1500.

Run "q opt" on the client, and you will the server's port under "TCPPORT" (default 1500), and the client's port TCPCLIENTPORT (default 1501).
