5. Identify any firewalls and obtain the required authorization to pass network traffic through

them.

6. Obtain the static IP addresses that will be used for the TotalStorage Productivity Center

servers.

3.3.1 TCP/IP ports used

Table 3-1 lists the TCP/IP ports used by the Agent Manager component. You can change any

of the port numbers except for port 80, which is used by the agent recovery service.

If there is a firewall between the Agent Manager and the agents and resource managers in

your deployment, you must open the Agent Manager ports for inbound TCP traffic to the

Agent Manager.

Table 3-1 TCP/IP ports used by the Agent Manager

Table 3-2 lists the ports for the different components of IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center.

Chapter 3. Installation planning and considerations 47

You can find the port numbers used on your system by running the netstat -a or

netstat -ano commands (to see the PID using that port, too), as shown in Figure 3-1 on

page 48 and Figure 3-2 on page 49.
