# WHATPORT(3869)

## NAME

port 3869 — HP OpenView Storage Area Manager discovery — The management-server discovery port of HP OpenView Storage Area Manager, a SAN management suite discontinued in 2015.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA: ovsam-mgmt

## DESCRIPTION

IANA registers 3869 as ovsam-mgmt, "hp OVSAM MgmtServer Disco". HP OpenView Storage Area Manager was a centralised suite for discovering and managing Fibre Channel switches, HBAs, arrays and tape libraries across a storage network, with host agents reporting to a central management server. HP discontinued it in 2015 in favour of Storage Essentials. Anything still listening on 3869 is a surviving management server in a very old storage estate.

## EXPOSURE

**Do not expose.** An end-of-life storage management plane that stopped receiving fixes over a decade ago — it should not be reachable from anything but its own management network.

## CHECK

```sh
nc -vz TARGET 3869
```
