Serviceguard Extension for RAC Compatibility with HP-UX and Oracle Releases

Manager Plug-in Compatibility and Feature Matrix at
www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs —> HP Serviceguard —> General
reference.
Port Requirements
Oracle 11gR2 RAC requires HP-UX kernel TCP/IP ephemeral port range to be set in the range
9000-65500.
Use NDD to ensure that the HP-UX kernel TCP/IP ephemeral port range parameters are set to
9000-65000 on each node.
Example:
You can use the following command to check the existing TCP/IP port range.
/usr/bin/ndd /dev/tcp tcp_smallest_anon_port tcp_largest_anon_port
/usr/bin/ndd /dev/udp udp_smallest_anon_port udp_largest_anon_port
Then, if required edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf and add entries to update the UDP
and TCP ephemeral port range to 9000-65000.
TRANSPORT_NAME[0]=tcp
NDD_NAME[0]=tcp_largest_anon_port
NDD_VALUE[0]=65000
TRANSPORT_NAME[1]=tcp
NDD_NAME[1]=tcp_smallest_anon_port
NDD_VALUE[1]=9000
TRANSPORT_NAME[2]=udp
NDD_NAME[2]=udp_largest_anon_port
NDD_VALUE[2]=65000
TRANSPORT_NAME[3]=udp
NDD_NAME[3]=udp_smallest_anon_port
NDD_VALUE[3]=9000
Ensure that the entries are numbered in proper order. For example, if there are three entries already
present for TCP or UDP ports in nddconf, then they are numbered 0 through 3:
TRANSPORT_NAME[0]=tcp, TRANSPORT_NAME[1]=tcp, and TRANSPORT_NAME[2]=tcp. The entries you add are then
TRANSPORT_NAME[3]=tcp and TRANSPORT_NAME[4]=tcp.
TRANSPORT_NAME[5]=udp and TRANSPORT_NAME[6]=udp.
Then use the following command to enables the nddconf file containing the parameters to be
loaded into the IP kernel stack: ndd -c
