Re: Vmware integration with DP 6.11 - Micro Focus Community

George Mitchell · ‎2011-05-20

I am having problems getting a vstorage backup to run in DP 6.11.

I have installed the latest patches as of May-18-2011 (DPWIN_00494 included).

I can configure my vcenter (4.1) and the configuration checks out OK, but when I try and run a backup of anything on it,

I get the following error:

[Normal]

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Hello Gmitchell

Please check that firewall is properly configured

Firewall configuration

Ensure that the following ports are open:

443 –

on backup hosts, ESX(i) Server systems, and vCenter Server systems

This is the default value used by VMware. If VMware uses a different port, ensure that this port is open.

5555 –

on all Data Protector clients (this is a prerequisite for the general Data Protector installation procedure)

There is no firewall involved. The two machines are in the same data center, connected to the sam switch.

JBasilio · ‎2011-05-24

Vcenter and ESX server has a firewall integrated, please open connections.

Resetting the ESX host firewall policy in ESX 4.x

You cannot stop the firewall service in ESX 4.x. If you try, you see the message:

Firewall can't be stopped. To disable the firewall run, esxcfg-firewall --allowIncoming --allowOutgoing

You can allow all packets through the firewall by running the command:

esxcfg-firewall --allowIncoming --allowOutgoing

To return the firewall configuration to its previous settings, run the command:

esxcfg-firewall --blockIncoming --blockOutgoing

We are running Esxi 4.1 which does not have a firewall.

JBasilio · ‎2011-05-31

You are wrong ESX 4.1 has a firewall.

George Mitchell · ‎2011-06-01

We have version ESXi 4.1.0 320137. Note the "i" in the name. This version does not have a firewall.

The directory /etc/vmware/firewall does not exist.

Hi,

Can you check Windows Application log in the time of failure? Are there any records on this issue?
