[Veritas-bu] NetBackup and Checkpoint Firewall
2003-02-05 11:17:59
Solaris 8
Netbackup 4.5
I have a system in our internal DMZ. I can backup this system fine but I
cannot restore to this system. It's not the ports as the firewall is wide open
for this system. What I found out was that NetBackup opens a TCP connection to
use for the restore. Then the process finds the correct tape, mounts the tape,
positions the tape, and then searches for the right image. This can take
multiple minutes. In the meantime the opened TCP connection has only seen a 3
way handshake with no actual data being passed. Checkpoint has a "hidden"
timer used for this situation with a default value of 60 seconds. So by the
time NetBackup is ready to pass data the timeout has kicked in. So you get the
message in the restore log of data not being restored and a listing of files.
This timeout is suppose to be in the objects.C file in Checkpoint but our
firewall guy can't find it. Anybody know where it is?
thanx,
dale

Good news is just life's way of keeping you off balance.
