VMWare ESX Firewall Ports

[Anonymous user]

I am going to be installing the PCNS option for VMWare.

Will the installation automatically open the firewall ports on the ESX 3.5 server or will i have todo this manually?

Thanks

unfortunately, you have to do it manually. you can use the following which we have tested and should work:

“esxcfg-firewall -o 3052,udp,in,apcups”
“esxcfg-firewall -o 3052,udp,out,apcups”
“esxcfg-firewall -o 3052,tcp,in,apcups”
“esxcfg-firewall -o 3052,tcp,out,apcups”
“esxcfg-firewall -o 6547,tcp,in,apcups”
“esxcfg-firewall –o 80,tcp,in,apcups”
“esxcfg-firewall –o 80,tcp,out,apcups”
“esxcfg-firewall –q”

no quotes of course when entering this in and all of this is case sensitive..

I have done this and now need to install PCNS on the ESX server. I know the server doesnt have Java so i copied these files to the tmp/apc folder "jre150_13_linux.tar.gz", "pcns223.tar.gz" & "install.sh".

I then ran the following commands

gunzip pcns223.tar.gz
tar -xf pcns223.tar

gunzip jre150_13_linux.tar.gz
tar -xf jre150_13_linux.tar

./install.sh

-bash: ./install.sh: Permission denied

I get the error above. I'm logged in as root which to my knowledge is a admin on the server.

Any idea?

Thanks

*nix requires files to be marked as executable.

chmod a+x install.sh
./install.sh
