Ports for Communications with SDP (optional)

STA 2.4.x supports optional automatic creation of service log bundles and forwarding of the bundles to StorageTek Service Delivery Platform (SDP). Communication with SDP requires specific port configuration.

See the following documents for details about these optional features:

STA User's Guide for information on configuring and using these features in STA.
StorageTek Service Delivery Platform User's Guide for information on configuring and using these features on the SDP host.

The table below summarizes the ports on the STA server that are used for communications with the SDP host.

Table 6-1 Ports for Communications With StorageTek SDP

Port	Protocol	Description/Purpose
7023 (default)	HTTP	Inbound communications from the SDP host to STA. Messages from SDP come in on the unsecure port assigned to the staEngine managed server. See Configurable Ports.
7024 (default)	HTTPS	Inbound communications from the SDP host to STA. Messages from SDP come in on the secure port assigned to the staEngine managed server. See Configurable Ports.
15000 (default)	Java RMI	Outbound communications from STA to the SDP host. You identify this port when configuring the SDP host in STA which tells STA the destination port on the SDP platform. The port must match the port that the SDP machine has open for client communications. See Define the SDP Host to STA in the STA User's Guide. The same port number must be configured on the SDP host to receive messages from STA. See the StorageTek Service Delivery Platform User's Guide for instructions.
