Customizing the Data Protector Environment
Firewall Support
Chapter 11 543
Port Range
Settings on the
Cell Manager
For example, if there are 25 backup and five restore sessions running
and two GUIs opened, you need to have at least 32 ports available.
However, since other processes may allocate ports from this range as
well, you should specify a range of about 100 ports on the CM system.
The port range could be defined as follows:
OB2PORTRANGESPEC=xSM:20100-20199
or:
OB2PORTRANGESPEC=BSM:20100-20139;RSM:20140-20149;DBSM:201
50-20199
Limitations For this configuration almost all Data Protector functionality is
available, including remote installation and online backup of databases
and applications.
• This cell cannot be a part of a MoM environment if centralized media
management or centralized licensing is used and the MoM cell is
inside.
• All backup clients must be in the DMZ. The GUI client cannot be
backed up by the Media Agent from the DMZ. The GUI can also be
run from a client that is a member of another cell located in the
intranet, provided that both cells use the same Inet listen port.
Example 4: Application Agent and Media Agent Installed
Outside, Other Components Installed Inside a Firewall
You can configure your backup environment so that the Cell Manager
and GUI are in the intranet and some Application Agents (SAP R/3,
Oracle ...) and Media Agents are in the DMZ:
