HP Serviceguard A.11.20.00 for Linux Release Notes, August 2012

If you are using the Quorum Server

• hacl-qs 1238/TCP HA Quorum Server

If you are using the appserver utility:

• hacl-poll 5315/TCP

Ports Needed for Authentication

The ports reserved for authentication are also used by Serviceguard:

• auth 113/TCP authentication

• auth 113/UDP authentication

Ports Required by Serviceguard Manager

If you are using Serviceguard Manager via HP SMH, make sure the following ports are open in

addition to the ports listed above:

• compaq-https 2381/tcp

• compaq-https 2381/udp

• cpq-wbem 2301/tcp

• cpq-wbem 2301/udp

• cpq-wbem1188 (tcp/udp)

System Firewalls

When using a system firewall with Serviceguard for Linux, you must leave open the ports listed

above. For detailed instructions, see Configuring firewall rules for HP Serviceguard on Red Hat

White Paper available at www.hp.com/go/linux-serviceguard-docs—> White papers.

Serviceguard also uses some dynamic ports for some cluster services; these also need to be open

in the firewall. They are typically in the range 32768-61000 for Red Hat. To determine the range

on a given system, check the contents of the file /proc/sys/net/ipv4/

ip_local_port_range. If you have adjusted the dynamic port range using kernel tunable

parameters, alter your firewall rules accordingly.

• To enable intra-cluster communications, each HEARTBEAT_IP network on every node in the

cluster must allow the following communications in both directions with all other nodes in the

cluster:

◦ TCP on port numbers 5300 and 5302 — and allow only packets with the SYN flag

◦ UDP on port numbers 5300 and 5302

◦ TCP and UDP on dynamic ports

• If you use a quorum server, all nodes in the cluster must allow the following communication

to the quorum server IP address:

◦ TCP on port 1238 — and allow only packets with the SYN flag

Any node providing quorum service for another cluster must allow the following communication

from that cluster’s nodes:

◦ TCP on port 1238 — and allow only packets with the SYN flag

• Running the cmscancl command requires the ssh port be open.
