port 2300 cvmmon ClusterView Management Cluster Support

[Steve Post]

What is it?
I need that port for a database. My earlier version of hpux11.0 uses this port. I need it on my new box.

I doesn't look like it is in use.
I think it is for product B5174BA.
But I can't any more information on it from either the hpux site (here), or from Google.

Any idea if I can steal the port BACK?

Shalom,

If you steal that port back for your database you will likely disable your clustering software, be it from veritas or HP.

If you are using clustering, you will have a production down incident, most likely.

You may be able to configure either the database or the cluser software to user a different port. I'd go for whatever is easiest. Oracle is pretty easy to route to another port with listener.ora and tnsnames.ora

This is the ClusterView Plus product, which was used for Cluster management and integrated in Open View.
Support for this product ended July 1st 2003.


I would say you could disable this software and even remove it

From running netstat -a | grep LISTEN, I see nothing is using this port 2300. I also searched the entire system for cvmmon with no success. I ran through swlist to look for this product. It is not installed. I ran:
cd /etc/rc.config.d
grep -iE "cluster|cvmmon" *
cd /sbin/init.d
grep -iE "cluster|cvmmon" *

In /etc/rc.config.d I got the MC service guard files. They showed up due to "cluster" in the search.

In /sbin/init.d/ I got something in vxvm-startup.

I'm not using MC/Service Guard or VxVM. I'm taking it out of this TEST box. (yes it's NOT production). No problems.
