We have a solaris 10 client running an application that needs a non reserved port that Netbackup seems to chose when the client boots. How do I control NetBackup's port range usage on that client? Do I need to modify the bp.conf on the client? Are other modifications needed to the master,media server? We are using mostly default settings...

We are using NetBackup 7.0.1

Use the Port Ranges properties in the NetBackup Administration Console to determine how hosts connect to one another. These properties apply to selected master servers, media servers, and clients.
The Port Ranges dialog box contains the following properties.

wrobbins,
Thanks, I had seen these pages but I'm unclear as to which hosts need to get the port range specification? my client only? or my master and media servers as well?
Thank you.
