Configuring default port for Network Manager

The Network Manager is configured to use port 20031 to open TCP and UDP sockets on a client. If this port is in use by any other application, the NetVault Backup Service fails immediately after startup. When this error occurs, you must change the default port for Network Manager.

Use the following procedure to change the default port on the NetVault Backup Server and all clients.

To change the default port for Network Manager:
1
Open the file nvnmgr.cfg in a text editor. You can find this file in the config directory under the NetVault Backup installation directory.
2
Add the following lines to this file:
[network]
UdpPort=<port number>
TcpPort=<port number>
Verify that the ports are not in use by any other application. In a firewall-protected environment, make sure that the ports are open and specified in the firewall settings for the client.
3
Save the file.
4
Restart the NetVault Backup Service to apply the new settings.

Use the following procedure to change the default port on the NetVault Backup Server and all clients.

To change the default port for Communications Manager:
1
Open the file configure.cfg in a text editor. You can find this file in the config directory under the NetVault Backup installation directory.
2

[machine]
Comms TcpPort=<port number>
Verify that the port is not in use by any other application. In a firewall-protected environment, make sure that the port is open and specified in the firewall settings for the client.

About Process Manager

The Process Manager (nvpmgr) runs on all NetVault Backup machines.

This process manages all other NetVault Backup processes. It creates and destroys the transient processes. The Process Manager also manages the allocation of the shared memory area for the process table and trace buffers.

You can modify the Process Manager settings from the Change Settings page.

NOTE: You must restart the NetVault Backup Service to apply any changes to the Process Manager settings.
