Opsware Satellite
Port 3001 is primarily associated with Opsware Satellite Servers, a component of the Opsware (later HP Server Automation) suite for managing large-scale server infrastructures. This port typically facilitates remote management and automation tasks, enabling administrators to deploy software, enforce compliance, and orchestrate system configurations seamlessly across many servers..
Opsware Satellite, running on port 3001, functions as an integral part of the Opsware automation system, designed to simplify and scale data center management. This component communicates with central Opsware Command Center servers to relay commands and report status while managing configurations, patch deployment, and provisioning. Communication typically relies on proprietary protocols optimized for reliability during configuration and software update tasks.
The Satellite acts in a hub-and-spoke architecture, handling automation at a localized level, which reduces network congestion and speeds up deployment times. It effectively manages scripts, automation workflows, and configuration snapshots. The port facilitates data transfer, script execution commands, and synchronization traffic between the satellite servers, central command centers, and managed hosts.
Due to its specialized automation role, this port's traffic can encompass a wide range of instructions—from basic software installs to complex policy enforcement. The protocols and payloads are often proprietary but based on TCP for session reliability. It is essential to monitor this port within Opsware deployments to ensure efficient operation.
