There is a procedure in the manual for using vnetd which allows you to only
open a few ports for media server and 1 port for clients.  I have not
personally done it so dont have any opinion about it but have heard it works
as advertised.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media server through a firewall ?

> Stek 9740 w/ 8 DLT7000 drives
> Adic Scalar 100 w/ 4 drives being controlled by:

> And 2 other drives connected to a Netapp filer.
