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.

Recently I needed to connect my browser to my opsware port 1004 but I got problems with certificate. This is where I needed to connect to: opsware:1004/ but I was getting nowhere as certificates were not installed for it. Solution is simple. I had to go to my opsware core server to the following directory:
/var/opt/opsware/crypto/spin/
there are two files that I needed:
browser.p12 and spin-developer.p12
please be very carefull as spin-developer is quite powerfull and you can do a lot of damages with it.

Anyway bring those two files to your desktop.
 open your internet explorer, select tools from the menu and chose internet options.
