The following is an example configuration of an ESX server and a Cell Manager with open ports
5555 and 42000-42100.
Create a file, such as DataProtector-ports, and insert:
<ConfigRoot>
<service>
<id>HP DataProtector</id>
<rule id='0000'>
<direction>inbound</direction>
<protocol>tcp</protocol>
<port type='dst'>5555</port>
<flags>-m state --state NEW</flags>
</rule>
<rule id='0001'>
<direction>outbound</direction>
<protocol>tcp</protocol>
<port type='dst'>5555</port>
<flags>-m state --state NEW</flags>
</rule>
<rule id='0002'>
<direction>inbound</direction>
<protocol>tcp</protocol>
<port type='dst'>
<begin>42000</begin>
<end>42100</end>
</port>
<flags>-m state --state NEW</flags>
</rule>
<rule id='0003'>
<direction>outbound</direction>
<protocol>tcp</protocol>
<port type='dst'>
<begin>42000</begin>
<end>42100</end>
</port>
<flags>-m state --state NEW</flags>
</rule>
</service>
</ConfigRoot>
With the command
# esxcfg-firewall –e ”HP DataProtector”
the file DataProtector-ports.xml is read and ESX opens the ports. “HP DataProtector” is
the name given in line #3 as the service ID.
Show the configuration of the firewall:
# esxcfg-firewall –q
Check the configured ports for Data Protector on the VirtualInfrastructure Client:
