Configuring HAFM Through a Firewall The TCP port numbers of the RMI server are randomly and automatically selected on both the HAFM appliance and Client as a full-duplex function. This poses a major problem for firewalls because they need to know which TCP port numbers to pass through and which numbers to block. Firewalls are configured to block all unknown incoming connections with no mapping of outgoing connections based on a socket part of TCP and IP.
Configuring HAFM Through a Firewall HAFM_sc.bat File Edit the HAFM_sc.bat file in the HAFM Server and HAFM Client area to include the parameter -Dsmp.registry.port=XXXX, where XXXX is any TCP port number not being used by another application. You must place this parameter after the %CLASSPATH% parameter as in the following example. setlocal pushd %~dp0\.. call bin\set_cp.bat ............... rem HAFM Server start %JAVA_HOME%\bin\HAFMServer.exe -server -Xmx512m -Xminf.15 -Xmaxf.
