Storage Node Options

Storage node options secures the environment by restricting unattended firewall ports.

If Dynamic nsrmmds is selected, then the NetWorker adds devices only on demand. Dynamic mode can improve bandwidth and performance, but the firewall ports may be left unattended by running processes. If Dynamic nsrmmds is set to No, then the NetWorker starts all available nsrmmd processes. Static mode along with the "mmds for disabled devices" option provides greater control on the nsrmmd firewall ports. The ports are attended by running processes.

Table 1. Storage node options
MMDS for Disabled Devices Dynamic nsrmmds Functionality
No No This is a static configuration. The number of ports that are to be open is equal to the number of disk devices on the storage node, that is, the "max nsrmmd count".
Yes No This is a "static" configuration. The number of ports that are to be open is equal to the number of disk devices on the storage node, that is, the number of nsrmmds. In this configuration, the ports are not utilized efficiently. A few of them remain unused. When the disabled devices are re-enabled, then all the open ports might be used.
Yes/No Yes This is a "dynamic" configuration. This configuration ensures that the nsrmmds are started on demand by the server.
NOTE:You must ensure that the sum of storage node devices nsrmmds count should not exceed 655.
