MSDTC issues after 6.1 upgrade

I've been reading some about the MSDTC connection issues after upgrading to 6.1. I've set up msdtc properties as described by several articles and have rebooted. I'm having the same issues. Our enterprise environment is heavily firewalled. Are these msdtc connections new for 6.1? If so we're probably missing the firewall rules.

Does anyone know what the new rules would be? We have two vm's: One is the iis web and model manager and the other is the iaas/vcac/everything else server. We also have a shared sql database cluster that is hosting the vcac/iaas sql database.

You may need to check your connection between the SQL server and the vSphere agent.

I had my firewall team check and there is a block form the sql server to the IaaS/vCAC manager server on port 135 which is needed for the new msdtc setup. Hopefully this is the issue and when we can get the rules in place (next week) that will be that.

I'm not sure I saw very good documentation about this from VMware. Maybe I missed it.
