By default, Storage Cruiser's agent uses LAN port number 4917 to communicate with Storage Cruiser's manager (Management Server). The relationship of service name, port number, protocol name, sender and receiver is as follows:
Service name | Port number / Protocol name | Sender | Receiver |
|---|---|---|---|
sscruisera | 4917/tcp | Storage Cruiser's manager | Storage Cruiser's agent |
Point
If the system is already using this port number, allocate an unused port number. In this case, it is necessary to change the port number of sscruisera service in the Management Server to same number.
Methods for setting the port number to be used are described below. If no other port number is specified, port number 4917 will be applied when launching Storage Cruiser's agent.
This information reflects the port number that was entered during installation of Storage Cruiser's agent, in "Registration of Agent service" screen to the services file. Check that the setting for the specified port number is applied, and that the port number is not in use for other purposes.
#Service name Port number/protocol name sscruisera 4917/tcp
Point
If the specified port number is already in use for other purposes, edit the <Windows installation directory>\system32\drivers\etc\services file manually and change to an unused port number.
On Windows Server 2008 or later, the firewall is active by default. For this reason, the port number settings on the side where the agents receive data must be configured so that communications can pass through the firewall. If a port number is modified, adapt these settings accordingly.
Enter the service name, the port number to be used, and the protocol name into the /etc/services file.
The example below shows how to set "4917" for the port number to be used.
#Service name Port number/protocol name sscruisera 4917/tcp
Point
If the specified port number is already in use for other purposes, change to an unused port number.
If a firewall is active for a port number on the side where the agents receive data, the settings must be configured so that communications can pass through the firewall. If a port number is modified, adapt these settings accordingly.
Run the following command in order to set the service name, the protocol name, and the port number to be used in the /etc/services file.
The example below shows how to set "4917" for the port number to be used.
# /usr/sbin/chservices -a -v sscruisera -p tcp -n 4917 |
Point
If the specified port number is already in use for other purposes, change to an unused port number.
If a firewall is active for a port number on the side where the agents receive data, the settings must be configured so that communications can pass through the firewall. If a port number is modified, adapt these settings accordingly.
