How to open a new port for HP?

[kenken_3]

Hi there,

Recently, we install the netbackup software into 1 server and 2 clients. They are all HP machines. The software needs the port 13711 which I have added this entry to the /etc/services for all the machines. However, when we run the test, the connect cann't go through this port.

To test, from the master server:
telnet client1 13711

the system tell connection refused. It is same as client2.

However, when we try the same thing from the clint1 and client2 to the master server. It works.

Anyone can help me on this?

thanks

13711 is the port number is being used by the server daemon, the port number client used to connect the server is not same as the server port number 13711, it should be another. you may use lsof to find out what number is it. To get the lsof 64 bit here:

Hope it helps.
