Feature or Purpose

CommServe server

1433, 1434

Web Server, Workflow Engine

Direct database access

Note

For MS SQL Server, communication on TCP Port 1433 and UDP Port 1434 need to be open.

CommServe server

8052, 8053, 8054, 8055, 8056 and 8057

Note

  • Using dynamic ports is not a best practice when using one way firewall topologies.

  • If you are using a dynamic port, run the following QScript command:

     
    qoperation execscript -sn UpdateActiveMqPort -si @clientName -si @tcpPort -si @AMQPPort -si @MQTTPort -si @StompPort -si @WSPort -si @webconsolePort

All data and control traffic

MediaAgents

111, 2049, 2050

Database server or hypervisor that needs to access Commvault backup data directly

Live mount and live restore for VSA, 3DFS and Hybrid File Store

Note

These ports need to be opened on the Commvault 3DFS server.

For information about configuring additional ports, see Configuring a Firewall Between a File Server and a MediaAgent.

MediaAgent that performs backups

NDMP and NAS backups

Web Server

Additional Ports Based on Advanced Cases

Target Machine to Access

Incoming Ports on Target Machine

Accessed From

Feature or Purpose

CommServe server

8111(Linux)

9400, 9401, 9403 (Windows)

Commvault 1-Touch temporary recovery client

Reserved port to communicate with CommServe server from client during 1-Touch restore

Communication port

9401 (by default)

Transfer data from access node/proxy client to IBMi client machine

For sending and requesting requests (for example, backup, restore, browse, update install) from the CommServe server through access node/proxy machine.

Data ports

Any range

Transfer data from IBMi client machine to access node/proxy client.

For transferring data from IBMi client machine to access node/proxy client during backup.

For transferring data from access node/proxy client to IBMi client machine during restore operations. By default, SSH communication (port 22) is used for installation and services start).

Note

  • If there is no firewall enabled between the IBMi client and access node/proxy machine, then any free random port will be used for data transfer.

  • If there is a firewall enabled between IBMi client and the access node/proxy machine, then allowed port range should be specified in the access node/proxy client properties. This range can be anything, and the number of ports should be more than the total number of simultaneous streams with all of the subclient backups. You can set a specific range to limit the number of open ports
