• StoreAll software user password. This password is created during installation and is used to

Configuring ports for a firewall

IMPORTANT: To avoid unintended consequences, HP recommends that you configure the firewall

during scheduled maintenance times.

When configuring a firewall, you should be aware of the following:

• SELinux should be disabled.

• By default, NFS uses random port numbers for operations such as mounting and locking.

These ports must be fixed so that they can be listed as exceptions in a firewall configuration

file. For example, you will need to lock specific ports for rpc.statd, rpc.lockd,

rpc.mountd, and rpc.quotad.

• It is best to allow all ICMP types on all networks; however, you can limit ICMP to types 0, 3,

8, and 11 if necessary.

Be sure to open the ports listed in the following table.
