Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Tcpport

The tcpport option specifies a TCP/IP port address for a server. You can obtain this address from your administrator.

Tivoli Storage Manager Firewall Support

To enable the backup-archive client, Command Line Admin client, and the Scheduler (running in polling mode) to run outside a firewall, the port specified by the option tcpport (default 1500) must be opened in the firewall.

Note:
Tivoli Storage Manager does not support the scheduler running in prompted mode outside a firewall.

The webports option enables the use of the Web client outside a firewall by specifying the TCP/IP port number used by the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Acceptor daemon and the Web Client Agent service for communications with the Web GUI.

The ports specified with the webports option and the client option httpport must be opened in the firewall. See Httpport and Webports for more information.

See Tivoli Storage Manager Firewall Support for further considerations regarding Tivoli Storage Manager firewall support.

Place this option in the client options file dsm.opt.
