AIX

Hi

I have a ticket to Reserve ports for SAS install in SAS servers.

Does anyone knows the procedure how to do it.

it will be helpful for me please

Thanks in Advance

Assuming that the SAS is the one that comes up first in Google, the default ports can be found there easily. Since I don't have enough posts yet, I can not privide a link. Just search for "Default Port Numbers for SAS Servers and Spawners"

I've seen similar tickets coming in for other applications, like SAP. Usually they (ERP admins) just want to have these ports reserved in /etc/services.
Anyway I think it would be better you recheck with the application people or who ever else sent the ticket, to give you the exact list of ports they need, including the correct description.

HI

thanks for the reply
i do have the list of ports to reserve.

I just need the procedure how to add it, im a newbie to AIX

Ah well, if you don't use some proprietary configuration management system, the vi editor and a privileged login to the server will be sufficient.

As with most system administration tasks, the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) knows how to deal with the services file as well, no manual editing required.
Just check for "smit /etc/services" on google, the first should be a a link to the IBM AIX documentation describing the smit fast paths.

Modify /etc/services, add lines like:

SAS platform proc mgr 1966/tcp # SAS Platform Process Manager
SAS platform proc mgr 1966/udp # SAS Platform Process Manager
sas-remote-hlp 3755/tcp # SAS Remote Help Server
sas-remote-hlp 3755/udp # SAS Remote Help Server
SAS remote srv 5099/tcp # SAS Remote Srv
SAS remote srv 5099/udp # SAS Remote Srv
SAS Anlaytic 6098/tcp # SAS Analytic Platform HTTP
SAS Anlaytic 6098/udp # SAS Analytic Platform HTTP
SAS Anlaytic 6099/tcp # SAS Analytic Platform
