Chapter 9. Enabling the ProtecTIER Replication Manager
About this task
The ProtecTIER Replication Manager application is installed on a
customer-designated ProtecTIER v2.5 server. IBM recommends installing
ProtecTIER Replication Manager at the replication destination site, so that the
ProtecTIER Replication Manager will remain available in a disaster recovery
situation.
Note: If you are not enabling replication, proceed to Chapter 10, “Installing
ProtecTIER Manager,” on page 113.
Important: ProtecTIER Replication Manager requires access to TCP port 6202.
Before installing the ProtecTIER Replication Manager application, ensure that TCP
port 6202 is open in the customer's firewall. If port 6202 is behind the firewall, data
replication will fail.
