    Hello.

    I need to open port 2500 to allow Veeam to connect to my ESX host. I've tried

    esxcfg-firewall -openport 2500:2510,tcp,in,VeeamSCP

    service mgmt-vmware restart

    still no joy anyone any ideas?

    What does the output of esxcfg-firewall -query display at the end under the "Opened Ports" section?

    Good Luck!

    open ports displays teh following

    VeeamReplication : port 2500 tcp.in tcp.out udp.in udp.out

    VeeamSCP : port 2500:2510 tcp.in

    both I manually entered today using the above command I posted earlier. so it looks like it may be open up just fine.

    So what exactly isn't working? Can you not make FastSCP connections? If so, check that there are no firewalls on your client.

    Also, what exact errors are you receiving?

    When I try to run a replication I get the following error:

    Initializing target session Cannot connect to server

    the IP given is the IP address of the Source ESX host. SO i had though it was an issue with maybe teh firewall on ESX but it's looking more like it'll be an issue with our actual site firewalls possibly blocking traffic. I just find it strange that I'm getting our source IP address because the server running Veeam is on the same IP range as the source ESX which is why I initially though it might be the ESX firewall causing the problem
