Assure MIMIX for AIX always checks the /etc/services file for port assignments to be used by a Context ID. If no port assignments are found in the /etc/services file, Assure MIMIX for AIX will use the default ports listed below. If the default port assignments are in use by another application, then specific port assignments must be added to the /etc/services file for a Context ID.
The default port assignments shown are not added to the /etc/services file when Assure MIMIX for AIX is installed.

You can use the values discovered by the Configuration Wizard or change them.
When the new replication group is deployed, the /etc/services file will be updated to include the port numbers for the replication group.
On the Configuration Wizard Ports panel, when you are changing a replication group configuration, the Configuration Wizard reads the /etc/services file to find port numbers that are already assigned to the replication group and populates the Port fields with the assigned values. If the Configuration Wizard does not find any port numbers for the replication group in the /etc/services file, port numbers that are unassigned, including the default port assignments if they are not in use by another application, will be used to populate the values in the Port fields.
You can use the values discovered by the Configuration Wizard or change them.
When the new replication group is deployed, the /etc/services file will be updated to include the port numbers for the replication group.
