Cadlistenonport

The cadlistenonport option specifies whether to open a listening port for the client acceptor.

When a listening port is open, it can accept any inbound connections. However, the port is not used when the client acceptor manages only the scheduler and the scheduler runs in polling mode. You can use this option to prevent the acceptor from opening the unused port.

The default setting for this option is yes. Use cadlistenonport no only when managedservices schedule and schedmode polling are used.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all clients. The IBM Spectrum Protect™ API does not support this option.

Options File

AIX operating systems Linux operating systems Mac OS X operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems Place this option in the client system-options file (dsm.sys) within a server stanza.

Windows operating systems Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt).

Syntax


                    .-Yes-.   
>>-CADLISTENONPort--+-----+------------------------------------><
                    '-No--'

Parameters

Yes: Specifies that the client acceptor opens a listening port. This parameter is the default.
No: Specifies that the client acceptor does not open a listening port. Use this setting when you use the client acceptor only to manage the scheduler in polling mode.
This setting effectively disables other client features that depend on the client acceptor, such as web client backup and restore operations, IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments: Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI operations, and IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot backup and restore operations.
