is this caused by that the TCP port 443 is blocked?

nope

More than likely, the source system (172.19.129.10) cannot reach the ESX host by DNS or TCP Port 902 is blocked between them.

Sir, I have checked on the TCP port 902 on the source machine by using telnet 172.19.129.32 902, it seems that the TCP 902 is open. I have upload the screen copy of the telnet result.

By the way, what do you meaning by "cannot reach the ESX host by DNS", since I typed the IP address of the ESX host in the conveter, will it also require DNS to solve the address

Thanks, actually I have already read the document and test the TCP port 902 on the source machine before I created this discussion.
