Post-Upgrade Considerations for Firewall

After upgrading the CommServe, MediaAgent and client computers, perform these steps:

1. Configure network settings for the CommServe, MediaAgent and client computers by following the procedures explained in the Configuring Network Routes pages.

   Push the network configuration for the CommServe, MediaAgent and all clients.

   If you need to configure multiple client computers, see Configuring Network Routes on Multiple Clients Simultaneously.

2. After configuring the new network settings described above, follow the steps in Opening Additional Ports to enhance data throughput.

3. If the clients had V8 firewall configurations, you must delete the V8 firewall files from the clients as follows, depending upon the operating system of your clients:

   Windows
   Run the FirewallConfigDeprecated.exe tool located in the software_installation_path/Base/ folder on the CommServe, MediaAgent, and client computers.
   Remove the client computer name from the old firewall configuration files.

   UNIX
   Manually delete the following files located in software_installation_path/Base folder:

   • FwHosts.txt

   • FwPorts.txt

     • FwPeers.txt
