Enabling Firewall on HyperScale X Appliance

Firewall can be enabled and the required ports automatically opened on the HyperScale nodes.

Note

Firewall is automatically enabled on new installations of the HyperScale X Appliance cluster.

Procedure

Set the Commvault Cloud Backup Gateways associated with the cluster on Maintenance mode.

For more information, see Setting the Commvault Cloud Backup Gateway in Maintenance Mode.
Login to any one of the nodes in the storage pool.

Note

Firewall can be enabled on all the nodes in the storage pool from any one of the nodes. (It is not necessary to repeat the following steps from each node.)

Navigate the following folder:

# cd /opt/commvault/MediaAgent/task_manager

Run the following script:
```
# ./cvmanager.py -t Configure_Firewall
```
This will enable the necessary ports needed for the cluster, depending on your environment. For more information on the required ports, see Firewall Port Requirements.
Verify that the firewall is enabled using the following command:
```
# firewall-cmd --state
```
This should display the state as running.
Verify that the Commvault Cloud Backup Gateway services are running using the following command:
```
# commvault list
```
Turn off the maintenance mode on Commvault Cloud Backup Gateways associated with the cluster.
