Hey all - I know this one has been asked before, but I
can't seem to find a solution to my problem. IBM has
been a bit snitty - telling me it's a
"communications/network" problem. Ok, maybe not
snitty - maybe I'm just having a bad day.
Anyway.
TSM server AIX 5.1, TSM 5.2.0
Linux client TSM 5.2.3
The linux client is in the dmz outside the firewall.
(And, for the record, I've never set up a client that
was outside the firewall) I've tried both the "method
1" and "method 2" called out in the Unix BA manual.
Now I'm concentrating on "method 1" which is the
method where you open ports on the firewall.
Have asked my firewall admin to open ports 1500, 1501,
1581. He says they are open.
dsm.sys contains (among other things)
COMMmethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress <server ip addr>
passwordaccess generate
schedmode polling
nodename lin01
tcpclientaddress <client ip addr>
httpport 1581
tcpclientport 1501
webports 1582 1583
Simply trying a "dsmc inc" from the client eventually
times out with:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] var]# dsmc inc
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
Command Line Backup/Archive Client Interface -
Version 5, Release 2, Level 3.0
(c) Copyright by IBM Corporation and other(s)
1990, 2004. All Rights Reserved.
Node Name: LIN01
ANS1017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection
failure
Running a tcpdump during this shows that the
destination port that is trying to be reached is 1500
on the server (which is correct), but the source port
on the client is 32850. I assume my problem is
because the firewall admin hasn't opened port 32850 -
however from other posts I gather this is a randomly
assigned port on the client? Is it governed by a
parameter I'm unaware of? Or, might this not be my
problem at all?
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks,
T.
