NIM Backup with Firewall

[nymus]

Hi-

I'm using NIM functionality (AIX5.3) to backup all AIX Servers but some Servers are in the DmZ and many tcpip ports (nfs, ping,etc...) should be open and... it's really a security risks!

As anyone experience about NIM Backup through Firewall?
Which tcpip ports should be open?
Could we restricted them?

regards, nymus-

Do you have another adapter on this box that you could temporarily attach to the same network as the NIM Master? This would make your life easier...

Unfortunately, I cannot attach a another adapter in the same network as the NIM Server!
Thanks
