Configuring Firewall Settings - VMware 454885-B21 - Lab Manager Standard Foundation Bundle Installation Manual

Configuring Firewall Settings

Lab Manager communicates between its servers and clients through network ports.
ESX Server software sets up default ports. See the VMware Infrastructure 3
documentation for details.
Review the requirements to configure firewalls:
Client browser to access Lab Manager Server – TCP port 443.
Client browser to access Managed Server systems – TCP ports 902 and 903.
Lab Manager Server and Managed Server systems to access SMB storage
server – TCP ports 139 and 445, UDP ports 137 and 138.
Managed Server to access additional media storage servers (NFS) – TCP port
2049.
Lab Manager Server to access Managed Server systems – TCP port 5212.
Figure 2‐1 illustrates the Lab Manager components and ports.

During the installation process, ensure that port conflicts do not exist. To determine
ports in use, type netstat from the command line. Use the netstat -on command to
determine the program identifier (PID) for the application and use Task Manager to
find its name.
