EMC SMI-S Provider: Modifying the Port

Objective

This article describes how to modify the ports on which the EMC SMI-S Provider listens:

• 5988 for http traffic
• 5989 for https traffic.

Port 443 is used for bidirectional communication between the EMC SMI-S Provider and CLARiiON. If a firewall exists between the EMC SMI-S Provider installation and a CLARiiON array, this port must be opened in the firewall.

Modifying the port

To change the port the EMC SMI-S Provider listens on:

On the machine running the Provider:

1. Stop the ECOM Service
2. Navigate to ‹Install_dir›\ ECIM\ECOM\conf
3. Edit the file properties, uncheck Read-only, and click ok
   
4. Open the file named port_settings.xml.
   
5. Change the port0 and port1 tag values. Example:
   ‹ECOMSetting Name="Port0"›
   ‹port›15988‹/port›
   ‹secure›false‹/secure›
   ‹slp›true‹/slp›
   ‹/ECOMSetting›
   ‹ECOMSetting Name="Port1"›
   ‹port›15989‹/port›
   ‹secure›true‹/secure›
   ‹slp›true‹/slp›
   ‹/ECOMSetting›
   
6. Save the port_settings.xml file.
7. Start the ECOM Service.

In the Profiler GUI:

1. Go to Administration › Hosts
2. Click the monkey wrench icon corresponding to the Array.
3. Change the HTTP port to the port previously set in the port_settings.xml file.
4. Save the changes.
