Enabling Loopback Mode on Clients and Client Groups

Note

• If the nBindToLoopback additional setting is added to an NDMP MediaAgent, NDMP backups will not work.

• When this additional setting is enabled, remote CommCell Console console login using the CommServe hostname won't work. For remote CommCell Console login to work, you must configure a port-forwarding gateway to access the CommCell Console. For more information, see Configuring Access to the CommServe Computer Using a Port-Forwarding Gateway.

• When this additional setting is enabled, the following services will still listen on all interfaces. You can configure TPPM if the Web Console/Command Center client does not have direct access to the following services. For more information, see Third-Party Port Mappings:

  • Web Server (default port = 81). Web Console/Command Center requires access to web services.

  • Custom Report Engine (default port = 80). Web Console/Command Center requires access for custom reports to work.

  • Commvault Messaging Queue (default port = 8052). Web Console/Command Center requires access for push notifications of jobs, events, and alerts.

  • Commvault Index Server (Apache Solr) Data Analytics (default port = 20000). Web Console/Command Center requires access to view statistical information about unstructured data, such as files and emails.

  • Commvault Monitoring (default port = 8090, 8091 and 8097). Web Console/Command Center requires access to trigger alerts for critical service interruptions on High Availability Computing clients.
