Port Usage

Some of the listed ports are only used for troubleshooting access to the application via the Java Management Extensions (JMX) consoles. It is important, however to have access to these ports so that data from OMi can be quickly accessed and issues can be identified.

OMi connects to external servers such as database, SMTP, NTP, or LDAP servers. By default, the following ports are used:

If there is a firewall between OMi and the external server, you must configure the firewall to allow connections between OMi and the external server.

If the database has been configured to use a different port, disable OMi, run the configuration wizard and modify the port in the Database Settings page, and then enable OMi again. For details about the configuration wizard, see the Install section.

OMi by default listens at the following ports for incoming data:

When you change the default ports, update any data collector that were configured before you modified the port (for example, SiteScope). Modify the gateway server address in each data collector to reflect the new port as follows: <OMi gateway>:<new port>. Alternatively, if there is a load balancer in the deployment, update the load balancer to forward communication to the new ports.

Port 80 is used by the OMi web server. To modify this port, you must reconfigure other components on the OMi server and restart OMi.

1. Modify the virtual gateway server settings.

   1. Open Infrastructure Settings:

      Administration > Setup and Maintenance > Infrastructure Settings

      Alternatively, click Infrastructure Settings.

      Select Platform Administration from the Foundations drop-down list.

      Locate the Platform Administration - Host Configuration table. If this table is not visible, set the Select Context option to All.

   2. Modify the Default Virtual Gateway Server for Application Users URL to
      https://<server name>:<new port>.

   3. Modify the Default Virtual Gateway Server for Data Collectors URL to
      https://<server name>:<new port>.

2. Modify the direct gateway server settings

   1. In the same table, modify the Direct Gateway Server for Application Users Server URL to include the new port.

   2. Modify the Direct Gateway Server for Data Collectors URL to include the new port.

3. Modify the local virtual gateway server settings

   1. In the same table, modify the Local Virtual Gateway Server for Application Users URL to include the new port.

   2. Modify the Local Virtual Gateway Server for Data Collectors URL to include the new port.

4. Modify the Open OMi URL

   1. Remotely connect to the OMi gateway server and select Start > All Programs > HPE Operations Manager i.

   2. Right-click Open HPE Operations Manager i and select Properties.

   3. In the Web Document tab, modify the URL field as follows: https://<gateway server>:<new port>/omi.

5. Modify the web server settings

   Modify the web server settings. This procedure varies depending on web server type. They should all be performed on the OMi gateway server. The following example is for an Apache web server:

   1. Open the file <OMi_HOME_GW>/WebServer/conf/httpd.conf in a text editor.

   2. Go to the line that begins with Listen, and modify the port value as required.

   3. Go to the line that begins with ServerName and modify the port value as required.

6. Restart all OMi servers and update data collectors.

   Restart all OMi servers and update any data collectors that were configured before you modified the port (for example, SiteScope). Modify the gateway server address in each data collector to reflect the new port as follows: <OMi gateway>:<new port>.

Port 5445 is the port used by the JMS client and JMS bus connections. To change the port, perform the following procedure on each OMi server:

1. Stop all OMi servers (gateway and data processing servers).

2. On the OMi primary date processing server, run the opr-support-utils tool to change the port:

   Windows: <OMi_HOME>\opr\support\opr-support-utils.bat ‑bus ‑setport <new_port>

   Linux: /opt/HP/BSM/opr/support/opr-support-utils.sh ‑bus ‑setport <new_port>

   Tip Use the ‑bus ‑getport option to query the current port.

3. Start all OMi servers (gateway and data processing servers).

This port number is the port through which the Tomcat AJP13 connector enables communication between components on the OMi server. Perform the following on each OMi server whose Tomcat AJP13 connector port you want to redirect, and restart OMi.

1. Change the application server port definition:

   1. In a text editor, open the following file:

      <OMi_HOME>/application-server/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml

   2. Search for the following line in the file:

      <socket-binding name="ajp" interface="management" port="8009"/>

   3. Change the port number.

2. Configure the web server to use the new port:

   1. In a text editor, open the following file:

      <OMi_HOME>/WebServer/conf/workers.properties

   2. Search for the following line:

      worker.localAjp.port=8009

   3. Change the port number.

3. Windows only. Configure the reserved ports in the registry.

   Under the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters], replace the existing port with the new port.

   Restart the operating system.

4. Restart all OMi servers.
