Using firewalls
Storage Mirroring Replicate can be used over a wide area network (WAN) through
firewalls, but it does not support Network Address Translation (NAT) configurations.
If your servers are on opposite sides of a firewall, you will need to configure your
hardware to accommodate Storage Mirroring Replicate communications. You must have
the hardware already in place and know how to configure the hardware ports. If you do
not, see the reference manual for your hardware.
Storage Mirroring Replicate ports
Storage Mirroring Replicate port information is stored in configuration files. By default,
ports 6320, 6325, 6330, and 6340 are used. If you are using TimeData continuous data
protection, the default ports are 8080, 17001, 17101, 17201, and 17301. If desired you
can modify some of these ports. However, not all of the ports can be modified.
If you have to modify which ports are used, you will have to modify two configuration
files. Be careful when modifying these configuration files. If you modify them incorrectly,
Storage Mirroring Replicate may no longer work correctly.
1. Open the file JobMgr.dll.config in your Storage Mirroring Replicate installation
directory. By default, this is \Program Files\Storage Works\Storage Mirroring. You
may need to associate the .config file extension with Notepad or another text
editor.
2. Locate the following lines near the top of the configuration file.
<add key="IdentificationPort" value="6320"/>
<add key="FallbackIdentificationPort" value="1100"/>
<add key="LivewirePort" value ="6340"/>
<add key="VRAPort" value="6330"/>
<add key="TimeDataWebServicePort" value="8080"/>
3. Change the port numbers as necessary. Do not change any other information.
4. Save the configuration file.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with the file BackupConsole.exe.config, using the same
port numbers for each key as you used in the JobMgr.dll.config file.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each Storage Mirroring Replicate server. The ports
must match between all Storage Mirroring Replicate servers and clients.
7. If you changed the IdentificationPort in the configuration files, you must also
change a port in the Replication Console.
