# cd CD-ROM_mount_point/agent <RETURN> |
Nullifying Firewall Settings for Ports to be used by Resource Coordinator VE
When installing Resource Coordinator VE on systems with active firewalls, in order to enable the manager to communicate with agents correctly, disable the firewall settings for the port numbers to be used for communication.
Example
[VMware]
# /usr/sbin/esxcfg-firewall -openPort 23458,tcp,in,"nfagent" <RETURN> |
For the port numbers used by Resource Coordinator VE and required software, refer to "Appendix C Port List" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
However, when port numbers have been changed by editing the services file during installation of Resource Coordinator VE, replace the default port numbers listed in "Appendix C Port List" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide" with the port numbers changed to during installation.
When installation was performed without using the console [Xen]
When installation is performed by logging in from somewhere other than the console, the network connection will be severed before installation is complete, and it is not possible to confirm if the installation was successful. Log in from the console and restart the managed server. After restarting the server, follow the procedure in "Corrective Action for Installation Failure" and perform installation again.
Uninstalling the Deployment Services
When installing ServerView Deployment Manager after Resource Coordinator VE has been installed, or using ServerView Deployment Manager in the same subnet, it is necessary to uninstall the Deployment services.
For the method for uninstalling the Deployment services, please refer to "5.9 deployment_service_uninstall" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Command Reference".
