Opening up port 10000

[Henry Rumschlag]

I am attempting to connect Veritas backup server software running on a Windows server to an HPUX Server (HPUX 11.11, Model rp3440) in order to perform data backup.
I have the veritas agent loaded on the server, and the status shows it ready to accept connection.
However, when I attempt connection, the backup software can't connect, error says the server is activly rejecting the connetion.
I have found that the Veritas software is trying to use port 10000 on the HPUX server.
Ok,now the question:
How do I open up port 10000 on the server?

Shalom,

Unless you are running a firewall, port 10000 is already open.

All you really need to do is run a service that listens on port 10000 and maybe add an entry to /etc/services

netstat -an | grep 10000
# make sure nothing is listening.

Steve, Thank You.

How do I run a service that listens on port 10000?

[Tim Nelson]

Your veritas backup agent should be listening to port 10000 on the hpux server.

netstat -an|grep 10000

if you have lsof
lsof -i :10000
should show you the PID and name of the process listening on that port.

If nothing is listed from either command then your agent is NOT running correctly or listening to the wrong port.

Many things are possible, but I'll assume
that you want a _particular_ service to
listen at port 10000.
