Greetings, Gurus -
Our TSM Server is version 6.4.1.0 running on RHEL 6.
Recently I installed the backup-archive client version 7.1.2 on a virtual machine running RHEL 7. If I disable the firewall, I can initiate backups from the TSM server. But with the firewall enabled, I cannot do the same.
dsm.opt on the client:
I updated the firewall to allowed for TCP traffic through port 1500 as follows:
Then I configured a backup schedule on the TSM server and defined an association with the client. The schedule reaches "Pending" status but the backup never runs. Nothing gets logged to /var/log/secure on the client.
Can anyone advise me on what I can do to enable server-initiated backups without disabling the firewall?
Many Thanks,
Janet
