Have a brand new install of ESXi 6.5, vCenter 6.5 and I am trying to perform a scan on the hosts and it will not finish.
I looked at the logs and I am seeing the below:
<FQDN> = vCenter Server FQDN
-----Result Begin (<FQDN>)-----
<esxupdate-response>
<version>1.50</version>
<error errorClass="MetadataDownloadError">
<errorCode>4</errorCode>
<errorDesc>Failed to download metadata.</errorDesc>
<url>http://<FQDN>:9084/vum/repository/hostupdate/vmw/vmw-ESXi-6.5.0-metadata.zip</url>
<localfile>None</localfile>
<msg>('http://<FQDN>:9084/vum/repository/hostupdate/vmw/vmw-ESXi-6.5.0-metadata.zip', '/tmp/tmpjz0hirzy', '[Errno 14] curl#7 - "Failed to connect to <FQDN> port 9084: Connection refused"')</msg>
</error>
</esxupdate-response>
Do I need to open ports on the vCenter Appliance for this to be successful?
Being that that the vCenter and vUM are on the same device I would expect this to working without modification.
The ESXi Hosts and the vCenter server resolve to the same local VLAN /24 there is not firewall traversion needed or communication to transpire for the scan to succeed.
Although the Infrastructure network(VLAN) these servers are on is locked down to other network, the internet is open for all ports (Outbound: Any/Any).
Name resolution is working as expected resolving both internal and externally.
I have already performed a UM database reset: /usr/lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin/updatemgr-util reset-db
And also removed the Patch Store: rm -rf /storage/updatemgr/patch-store/*
With no success in progressing further.
