The method used to change the ports depends on the version of SFW (Storage Foundation for Windows) that is installed.

For SFW 4.3 and later:

1. Use vrport to change the port numbers with the following syntax:

vrport [protocol] [port number]

For example:

vrport heartbeat 8990

The data range is changed with the following syntax:

vrport data [lowport]-[highport]

The values of heartbeat, vradmind and vxrsyncd are stored under the following registry keys:
 

 

 

 

For SFW 5.1 SP2 on Server 2008 64bit:

 

 

For SFW 6.0 on Server 2008 64bit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\VxSvc\CurrentVersion\VolumeManager\constants\portNumbers\CONNECTIONSERVER

 

 

The range for data is specified under the following registry keys:
 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\vxio\VVRParams\PortHigh
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\vxio\VVRParams\PortLow
 

 

They can either be changed from the registry, or through the use of the "vrport" command.

vrport heartbeat
vrport vradmind
vrport vxrsyncd
vrport data [lowport]-[highport]

Note: Changes must be made on both the VVR Primary server and all of the VVR Secondary servers. A reboot is required after changing the values for heartbeat or vxrsyncd. After making changes to vradmind, a reboot of the servers are not required, however, the SFW services need to be restarted.
