Powerpath communication with esx server
Hi,
in our environment we need to specify all traffic on the firewall between subnets. I was not able to find which tcp/udp ports are required to communicate between the host that has the powerpath rpowermt tools and the esx servers.
Can anyone point me to a port list?
we use powerpath/ve 5.8, esx 5.1
Thank you very much
Simon

Hi KC,
yes i agree. I had a netmonitor running while opening the rpowermt command and i see consistently this port used with any command issued.
Thank you for taking your time.
I am wondering why this is not documented in the product pdfs

The port should be TCP 5989. While I run rpowermt command, only this port can be monitored as “ESTABLISHED” as below:
