DBMTCPPORT

The DBMTCPPORT option specifies the port number on which the TCP/IP communication driver for the database manager waits for requests for client sessions.

The specified port number must be reserved for use by the database manager.

By default, the Tivoli® Storage Manager server uses interprocess communications (IPC) to establish connections for the first two connection pools, with a maximum of 480 connections for each pool. After the first 960 connections are established, the Tivoli Storage Manager server uses TCP/IP for any additional connections.

Parameters

port_number
Specifies the number of the TCP/IP port on which the database manager waits for communications from the server. Valid values are integers from 1024 to 65535.

The default port number is the value of the server TCPPORT option plus 50,000. For example, if the server TCPPORT option is 1500, the default DBMTCPPORT port number would be 51500.

If the TCPPORT server option is greater than 9999, add the last four digits of its value to 50000. For example, if the TCPPORT option is 11500, 1550 is added to 50000, resulting in a DBMTCPPORT port number of 51500.
