Solution 2020039.1 : FS System: Open Ports Required on the Pilot

Applies to:

Oracle FS1-2 Flash Storage System - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Purpose

The document lists all of the software ports that are used by the Pilot for communicating with other components within the Oracle FS System and with services running on the network.

If there are any firewalls located between the Pilot and the source or destination of a service, the ports must be open for that service to function.

Details

Below table provides details of TCP open ports required by the Pilot.

Port number	Application	Description
22	SSH	This port may be opened only in rare situations if it is needed for service purposes. In those situations, the administrator is notified by Oracle Support that this port needs to be opened. This port is disabled by default.
25	Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)	Used by the Oracle FS System for email notifications that are sent by the Oracle FS System and for account password recovery. This port is only used for outbound communication to a configured email server.
53	DNS	Used by the Oracle FS System to resolve the address of the Oracle ASR server and to locate mail servers for sending password recovery instructions.
80	HTTP	Used by the Oracle FS System for status monitoring and the download from the Pilot of documentation and various applications, such as Oracle FS System Manager (GUI).
123	Network Time Protocol (NTP)	Used by the Oracle FS System to synchronize the system time with an external time service provider.
161	Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)	Used by a host SNMP Management Server to monitor the Oracle FS System.
162	SNMP Traps	Used by the Oracle FS System to transmit SNMP traps to an external management application or by UPS devices to send notifications to an Oracle FS System. For example, used by compliant UPS devices to warn the Oracle FS System that the UPS device is running on battery power.
443	HTTPS	Used by the HTTPS Call Home option on the Pilot. This port must be open on all three Pilot ports to the Oracle Call Home server. Also used by HTTPS for checking status and alerts, using a web browser.
8083	Oracle WebCLI service	Used by the Oracle FS System for the FSCLI interface and for application integration.
8085	REST interface	Used by the Oracle FS System for application integration with a REST-based management application. This port is disabled by default.
10000	Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP)	Used by the Oracle FS System to provide backup and restore access to all file systems on the Oracle FS System.
26012	Oracle FS System Manager	Used by the Oracle FS System Manager (GUI) and Oracle FS Path Manager (FSPM) to communicate with the Oracle FS System.

Below are the commands to list open ports,how to open and close ports. You need to login to the active pilot in order to execute the commands.

How to check open (Listening) ports :

#netstat -lntu | grep LISTEN

How to open a specific port :

/etc/sysconfig/axiom/open-port.sh <port#>

How to close a specific port :
