Having issue to talk back to Symantec PureDisk SuSE server, port 1002 is closed on PD firewall (iptables). To add this as an exception do the following

1)login to PD server
2) cp -p /etc/puredisk/custom_iptables_rules /etc/puredisk/custom_iptables_rules.orig
3) vi /etc/puredisk/custom_iptables_rules
4) add the following entry
# protocol (tcp,udp,tcmp,all) source[/mask] port
tcp 10.10.10.1 1002
# where 10.10.10.1 is your Opsware CORE IP
5) make the permament change based on the edits and restart firewall
sh /opt/pdconfigure/scripts/installers/ChangeIPTables.sh
6) confirm changes by running iptables -L and make sure that port 1002 for TCP from your core server is there.
7) then go to opsware web gui and run communication test to reestablish your connection back.

Thats it.

If you would like to connect to the API documentation that describes the SA Plataform API, you should do the following:
1. You must copy to your local system the certificate (p12 file) available in your SA Core under /var/opt/opsware/crypto/spin/ directory.

2. When importing the certificate, it requires the password provided in the response file used during the installation. The password is included in the %decrypt_passwd parameter.

3. After importing the certificate, access the API documentation. Specify the following URL in your browser:

opsware:1032/twister/docs/index.html Or: opsware:443/twister/docs/index.html
The host is the IP address or host name of the core server running the SA Web Client component.
