Ensuring Listener port availability on Solaris

By default, Solaris-based systems set the lowest available anon port to 32768 using the tcp_smallest_anon_port variable. However, the Solaris platform provides several tools, including the netstat command, which can be used to determine if a port is in use. In addition, the current tcp_smallest_anon_port setting can be obtained by entering the following command from the command line:

ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_smallest_anon_port

If the value returned is less than 32776, you must reconfigure the anon port settings to ensure the availability of port 32775. To reconfigure the settings, follow the instructions specific to your version of the Solaris operating system.

For Solaris Containers (Zones), you must make these setting changes in the global zone. A permission denied error is returned if you attempt to use a local zone.
