Dear Sir:
It's that possible to use port 1750 only ?
Administrator  can't setup 1751 port now ,  Can I use port 1750 to collect data ?
thanks

Hi

it is about access to the storage. You say that your storage use only 1750
I do not know if DScli can work only through 1750. Check docu to your DS8k.


Open 1750 and try DScli if it is working:

/opt/ibm/dscli/dscli  -hmc1 192.168.1.1 -user admin

here is docu how DScli works, you can prefere 1750

cat /opt/ibm/dscli/profile/dscli.profile
..
# Connection port number used when connecting to the DS8000.
# This is equivalent to â<80><93>port 1718 | 1750 | 1751 on the command line. If not specified, the
# DSCLI first attempts to connect using the new port 1751 with a NIST-compliant certificate, and
# if that fails, it attempts to connect to existing DS8000 port 1750 with the legacy certificate.
# If the second attempt also fails, the DSCLI attempts to connect to port 1718 with the legacy
# certificate used by ESS 2105 machines. While this default behavior means that the R7.2+ DSCLI
# will connect to any ESS 2105 or DS8000, checking multiple ports can cause a connection delay
# when a R7.2+ DSCLI attempts to connect to a DS8000 or ESS 2105 that does not listen on the
# 1751 port. To prevent this additional delay, this variable may be used to specify a single
attempt on the specified port.
# 1718 : Only attempt to connect using port 1718 (ESS 2105 with legacy certificate).
# 1750 : Only attempt to connect using port 1750 (DS8000 prior to R7.2 with legacy certificate).
# 1751 : Only attempt to connect using port 1751 (DS8000 R7.2+ with NIST compliant certificate).
#port: 1750
port: 1750

# End of Profile
