Editing the /etc/services file to add specific port assignments - assure_mimix - 6.0

You can go to step 14 on page 128 and use the New Replication Group Ports panel (of the Configuration wizard) to automatically assign port numbers when you create a new replication group. Alternatively, you can edit the /etc/services file.

If multiple Context IDs are configured, each Context ID must have a unique port assignment. Port assignments for Primary and Failover Context IDs must also be unique.

For example, if the Primary Context ID is 25 and the Failover Context ID is 250, add the following entries to the /etc/services file on all servers.

sc25aba_channel        6901/tcp    # Assured Backup Agent
sc25lca_channel        6902/tcp    # Log Control Agent
sc25aa_channel         6903/tcp    # Archive Agent
sc25ra_channel         6904/tcp    # Restore Agent (scrt_rs)
sc25ca_channel         6905/tcp    # Restore Client Agent
sc25aba_dchannel     6906/tcp      # Assured Backup Agent
sc25lca_dchannel     6907/tcp      # Log Control Agent
sc25aa_achannel        6908/tcp    # Archive Agent
 
sc250aba_channel     6909/tcp      # Assured Backup Agent   
sc250lca_channel     6910/tcp      # Log Control Agent
sc250aa_channel        6911/tcp    # Archive Agent
sc250ra_channel        6912/tcp    # Restore Agent (scrt_rs)
sc250ca_channel        6913/tcp    # Restore Client Agent
sc250aba_dchannel    6914/tcp      # Assured Backup Agent
sc250lca_dchannel    6915/tcp      # Log Control Agent
sc250aa_achannel     6916/tcp      # Archive Agent

The default port assignments shown below for the Push Server are added to the/etc/services file when Assure MIMIX for AIX is installed.

mxws 17835/tcp
mxwsmgmt 17836/tcp

If the default ports assignment for the Push Server are in use by another application, then the port numbers used by the Push Server must be changed.

To change the port numbers used by the Push Server:

• Use stopsrc to stop the Push Server on all servers

stopsrc -cs mxws

• Use endvsisvr to stop the Assure UI server and the Assure MIMIX for AIX portal application on the servers where the Assure UI portal is running.

  /opt/visionsolutions/http/vsisvr/httpsvr/bin/endvsisvr

• Change the port numbers for the Push Server in the configuration file /opt/visionsolutions/mxws/service/httpsvr/conf/mxws.properties on all servers to unused port numbers.

  server.port=17835 <replace 17835 with an unused port number>
  management.port=17836 <replace 17836 with an unused port number>

  You must also update the Push Server port configured for the Assure MIMIX for AIX portal application in: /opt/visionsolutions/http/vsisvr/httpsvr/ webapps/mimixaix-pa/WEB-INF/classes/com/visionsolutions/mimixaix/mxws.properties. There is no need to configure the management port for the Push Server here as it is not used by the Portal Application.

  mxws.port=17835 <replace 17835, this must match the server.port number used in the /opt/visionsolutions/mxws/service/httpsvr/conf/mxws.properties configuration file.>

• Use startsrc to start the Push Server on all servers

  startsrc -s mxws

• Use strvsisvr to start the Assure UI server and the Assure MIMIX for AIX portal application on the servers where the Assure UI portal was running.

  /opt/visionsolutions/http/vsisvr/httpsvr/bin/strvsisvr

• End the Assure UI server.

  To end the Assure UI server, refer to the Assure Unified Interface User’s Guide.

• Change the Push Server port number for the portal application.

  mxws.port=17835 <replace 17835, this must match the server.port number used in the 
  /opt/visionsolutions/mxws/service/httpsvr/conf/mxws.properties configuration file on the AIX servers.>

• Start the Assure UI server.

  To start the Assure UI server, refer to the Assure Unified Interface User’s Guide.
