Configuring NetBackup Messaging Broker service to use PBX port

If required user can use the PBX port communication feature for the communication between the primary server and the NetBackup client.

Following are the steps required to set up PBX communication:

On primary server:

Using the following command stop the mqbroker service (or stop all services):
- For Linux: /usr/openv/mqbroker/bin/nbmqbroker terminate
- For Windows: C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\mqbroker\bin\nbmqbroker.exe -stop
Configure mqbroker using the following respective command:
- For Linux: /usr/openv/mqbroker/bin/install/configureMQ -defaultPorts
- For Windows: C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\mqbroker\bin\install\configureMQ.bat -defaultPorts
In the above commands, -defaultPorts sets the default port values for external and internal ports as follows:
Default external port: 13781
Default internal ports: 13780, 13779, 13778
To set the port values other than the default values, see the options by running the following command:
For Linux: /usr/openv/mqbroker/bin/install/configureMQ --help
For Windows: C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\mqbroker\bin\install\configureMQ --help
Add the above configured external port to the configuration file.
Default: 13781
NB_MQBROKER_PORT = 13781
For Linux, add the entry in bp.conf file.
For Windows, add DWORD entry in registry editor.
Using the following command to start the mqbroker service (or start all services):
- For Linux: /usr/openv/mqbroker/bin/nbmqbroker start
- For Windows: C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\mqbroker\bin>nbmqbroker.exe -start

On NetBackup client:

Stop all the services.
To use PBX port, add the entry in bp.conf file:
NetBackup_CLIENT_VIA_PBX = 1
For Linux, add the entry in bp.conf file.
For Windows, add DWORD entry in registry editor.
Start all the services.
