When PFM - Agent for Platform is used in an environment in which the Windows firewall is enabled, you must register the port number used by the following services to the exception list.

Table D‒2:  The port number registered in the exception list.

Parameter

Service name

jp1pcagtt[_logical host name]#

Agent Collector service

jp1pcstot[_logical host name]#

Agent Store service

#

_logical host name is added for a logical host service, and is not added for a physical host service.

Perform the following to register an item in the exceptions list:

  1. Execute the jpcconf port define command, setting the port number used by the services above. Also execute the jpcconf port list command to check the service port numbers. For details about the jpcconf port command, see the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.

  2. Perform one of the following to register an item in the exceptions list.

    • In the [Exceptions] tab of the [Windows Firewall] control panel choose [Add port] and then register the following port numbers.

      Port number: tcp 20280#

      Name: JP1/Performance Management - Agent for Platform

      [this port number corresponds to the parameter jp1pcagtt[_logical host name]]

      Port number: tcp 20279#

      Name: JP1/Performance Management - Agent for Platform

      [this port number corresponds to the parameter jp1pcstot[_logical host name]]

    • Execute the following commands to register port numbers.

      netsh firewall add portopening protocol=TCP port=20280(this port number corresponds to the parameter jp1pcagtt[_logical host name]) #2

      name="JP1/Performance Management - Agent for Platform" mode=ENABLE

      netsh firewall add portopening protocol=TCP port=20279(this port number corresponds to the parameter jp1pcstot[_logical host name]) #2

      name="JP1/Performance Management - Agent for Platform" mode=ENABLE

    #

    When the jpcconf port command is used to change the port number to an arbitrary number the port number is different from that given in this documentation. Change the port number to the value for the port option checked in step 1 and execute the command.

    For details about port numbers, see D. List of Port Numbers.

  3. In Windows Firewall check the contents registered above in [Programs or port] to make sure that the check boxes are selected. If they are registration is complete.

  4. To unregister a service select the registration information displayed in [Programs or port] for Windows Firewall and then choose [Delete] to remote the service from the list. To temporarily disable registration information clear the appropriate check box.

Note:

When uninstalling PFM - Agent for Platform, delete everything displayed for PFM - Agent for Platform displayed in the list of [Programs or port].
