I have 2 esx host on my DMZ. Scanning foe updates failed. I open updatemanager in my security profile, but that did not help. Now I suspect that my DMZ firewall has to be the culprit here.
What port do I need to be open in order to scan the ESX box in my DMZ
Thanks

I guess you need to open TCP ports 80 and 443 in both directions. 80 is maybe even unneeded...
More precisely you need:
VC_server (port >1023) to ESX (port 80)
VC_server (port >1023) to ESX (port 443)
ESX (port >1023) to VC_server (port 80)
ESX (port >1023) to VC_server (port 443)
I'm also setting up a VUM infrastructure and from docs i think that above ports are needed...

Could you tell me what document to look at ? my company is very compliant. Network guys won't do it if it is not stated in a document.
Also. when I enable updatemanger in security profile it says (80, 9000-9100). port 80 is open in my firewall. Does 9000-9100 needs to be open too ?
Thanks

Hi,
I don't see any mention of port # number you mention in the document.
Port 80 and 443 should be enough - I just set up my DMZ environment with this doc.
