Master: N5230 v2.6.1.2
Admin host: Windows 2012 (not R2) NetBackup v7.6.1.2
Clients: Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2012, Windows 2012 R2 - all NetBackup v7.6.1.1
All clients are VMs running in Hyper-V on CSV volumes on Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V clusters.
.
My understanding is that for NetBackup Client BMR network PXE boot style recovery that I need certain ports (client to server), specifically UDP/67/bootp, UDP/69/tftp, TCP/445/smb, TCP/4011/altserviceboot, and the typical TCP/1556/vxpbx.
Our security guys are not happy about opening TCP/445/smb, so I was thinking of instead of PXE booting for guest VM client based BMR recovery, to instead use BMR boot ISOs.
My questions:
1) If I go the BMR boot ISO model, then do we still need TCP/445/smb from NetBackup Client to NetBackup Server ?
2) If I go the BMR boot ISO mdoel, then can I also avoid having to open up network firewall ports for UDP/67/bootp, UDP/69/tftp, TCP/4011/altserviceboot?
Thanks.
