Hi Loris,

The easiest way to do it is to load the NetBackup administrative console
-> Host Properties -> Clients. Select your client, right-click into Properties.
In the Client Properties, go to Universal Settings. There you may select
the option "Accept connections on non-reserved ports"

I hope this helps

afaik, all of the nonreserved port specifications are specified and
stored only on the NetBackup server (port range, allow it for server,
and allow it for some client).

So if some client needs it, you store it as a "Client Attributes" entry
under server host properties.

So my answer is that you can't find it because it's not there and you
can put it in a Unix bp.conf, but it's only going to have meaning for a
server.

Hopefully someone will tell us the real story, if I'm wrong ;-)

Holiday cheers, wayne

Hi Sad Techie,

I could only do that if I could access the client from the server, but this
is not the case.
I have a mix of Solaris and W2K clients behind a firewall.
For the Solaris clients, I got it working by adding ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS
to the client's bp.conf (and AFTER THIS I can see them as connected from
Host Properties -> Clients -> -> Properties -> etc...).

I'm looking for the equivalent of that bp.conf parameter in a W2K environment.
I've logged a call to Sun Support (uarghhh...) but they just don't know
themselves...

Any further idea?

Cheers

Loris

Re: How to set up "Allow non reserved ports" on W2K NetBackup client

Hi Wayne,

The option ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS (in the CLIENT bp.conf) fixed my issue
on all my Solaris NB clients behind a firewall.
I'm looking for the equivalent setting in a W2K environment.

For the Solaris clients I've only been able to reach said clients via Host
Properties -> Clients -> etc... AFTER this setting is in place.
And in fact, I can't reach the W2K clients from Host Properties.
That's why I'm looking for that parameter.

Our support for NetBackup is through Sun I'm afraid, and they are good at
supporting Sun, not Veritas (imho).

There doesn't seem to be an option in the W2K NB client GUI, so I guess it
must be a Register hack.

Any idea?

Loris

In the event you can't get a definitive answer you could always set up a
temporary windows client behind the firewall with the settings you want,
then compare its registry with the one outside the firewall.

Re: How to set up "Allow non reserved ports" on W2K NetBackup client

Hi Loris,

If you cannot reach the client from the host properties, you do indeed need
to perform a registry hack.

You should go the desired client and navigate to the following registry subkey:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Con fig.

Right-click on Config and elect to create a new String Value. Call the string
value ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS. Once you have created the string value, double-click
on the it and set its Value Data to YES.

I hope this helps and happy new year!
