Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Changing the service port used by the NMC database on Linux

1. Stop the NMC daemons, by typing the command below, based on the initialization system running on your Linux machine:
   • sysvinit—/etc/init.d/gst stop
   • systemd—systemctl stop gst
2. Edit the /opt/lgtonmc/etc/gstd.conf file to add or change the following line:

   db_svc_port=port_number

   For example:

   db_svc_port=2639

3. Run the /opt/lgtonmc/bin/gstconfig command to update the port value in the NetWorker NMC server configuration file.
4. Edit the postgresql.conf file to add or change the following line:
   port=port_number

   For example:

   port=2639

   NOTE:By default the postgresql.conf file is located in the /nsr/nmc/nmcdb/pgdata directory.
5. Close the terminal or command prompt window.
6. Start the NMC daemons, by typing the command below, based on the initialization system running on your Linux machine:
   • sysvinit—/etc/init.d/gst start
   • systemd—systemctl start gst

   This action also starts the postgres and httpd processes.

   NOTE:If /etc/init.d/gst file is missing for sysvinit systems or gst file is not enabled for systemd systems, run the script - /opt/lgtonmc/bin/nmc_config

   Multiple Postgres processes appear. Two or more httpd processes appear. By default, these httpd processes run as nsrnmc.

7. Confirm that the daemons have started, by typing the following command: ps -ef | grep lgtonmc.
   Output similar to the following appears when the daemons have started:

   nsrnmc 7190 1 0 Nov23 ? 00:00:06 /opt/lgtonmc/bin/gstd
   nsrnmc 7196 1 0 Nov23 ? 00:00:00 /opt/lgtonmc/apache/bin/httpd -f /opt/lgtonmc/apache/conf/httpd.conf
   nsrnmc 7197 7196 0 Nov23 ? 00:00:00 /opt/lgtonmc/apache/bin/httpd -f /opt/lgtonmc/apache/conf/httpd.conf
   nsrnmc 7212 1 0 Nov23 ? 00:00:00  /opt/lgtonmc/postgres/11.1/bin/postgres -D /nsr/nmc/nmcdb/pgdata
