Hello All,
We have VMware vCenter Update Manager (VUM) 6.5 installed on a different server, instead of using vCenter server. There is external Firewall existing in the VMware Infrastructure
Can someone verify what ports need to be open to allow successful communication (Scan for Update, Remediate) between VUM and ESXi host(s)?
Source Destination Incoming port/Protocol
========================================
VUM ESXi_host 80 /TCP (not sure?)
902 /TCP
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ESXi_host VUM 80 /TCP
9084 /TCP
9000-9100 /TCP
----------------------------------------------------------------------
VMware Article: 1004543
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

this is from updatemanager 6.5 documention

80 | The port used by Update Manager to connect to vCenter Server. |

Can I confirm?
I would believe that the port 735 / tcp for VM updates is still used for the VMtools updates (agreed that the VM OS updated are obsolete), but for tool updatesis 735 still the port used?
Thanks
