Since NW 7.3.0:
- the NW client SW (nsrexecd) needs 4 ports
- the NW storage node needs 1 port per nsrmmd (per device)
plus 1 temporary one for a 'helper' (if the save set continues on another media)
+1 port for each nslcpd process
- the NW server needs:
nsrd 1
nsrmmdbd 1
nsrindexd 1
nsrjobd 2
nsrmmgd 1

Do not forget:
- these values are 'function-specific'. For a SN and the server you must add the ports appropriately.
- Ports 7937 and 7938 are fixed - you can not move them!

You will find procedures how to specify the port ranges in Appendic B of the current NW Admin Guide.

Hi 605

Thanks for your help.

1 Question to make it clear.

A Client needs 4 Ports 7937 and 7938 Pus 2 free Chosen.
A Storage Node with 4 LTO3 Drives need 12 Port (4 nsrexecd 2x4 for the Drives) 7937 and 7938 Plus 8 free chosen.
A Server with 8 LTO3 and 4 Librarys need 24 Ports.

I configure the Ports over the Console (Configuration>Local Host> right click > Configure Port Ranges.
I can do that with the networker server but if i couse a client or Dedicated Storage node then i got this message "Unabele to connect to Server: Failed to contact using UDP Ping" what is wrong?

If i have 10 Storage Node. I need 12 Ports for a Storage Node (see example above)
Can i use the same 12 Ports for alle 10 Storage Node (only 12 Ports are open at the Firewall?

The best way to set the porst on clients and SN is :
nsrports -S 7937-7949 in your 12 Port example.

Yes you can use the same ports for all Storagenodes.

@Shuegli:

Your calculation for the server is wrong. You will need:
- 4 ports for nsrexecd
- 16 ports for (2x8) for the devices
- 4 ports 1 for each nsrlcpd
- 1 port for nsrmmgd
- 1 port for nsrd
- 1 port for nsrmmdbd
- 1 port for nsrindexd
- 2 ports for nsrjobd
That makes 30 service ports.
---------------------------
With respect to your problem "Unable to connect to server: Failed to contact using UDP ping." you will find the following hit in the 7.4 Release Notes:

Workaround
1. Open the NetWorker Management Console window and select Setup> Setup System Options.
2. Ensure that RPC ping using UDP when connecting to NetWorker is unchecked.
----------------------------
Yes, you can use the same ports for all SNs.
