Would you add the VMware converter port usage too ? I think to those who need to P2V some DMZ servers

altonius, ICMP is a protocol in and of itself and does not utilize port numbers as we know them in the TCP/IP world for TCP and UDP datagrams. About the best we could for the diagram is draw a line to a default gateway object and label it “ICMP” but without a port number.

Vasilli, good suggestion and frankly it’s been in the back of my mind that we’re gonna have to get the rest of the family of VMware products that interact with VI somehow squeezed into the diagram. Let’s save that for version 2.0. I haven’t gotten SRM in the lab – no clue what ports it uses. To really discover SRM may be a stretch for me because of the hardware and licensing elements required (storage, replication, etc.) We might be better off hunting down a document from VMware to fill us in on the ports.

Great work! What about ports for SRM and Update Manager?

Sorry, I left the other comment over at VM /ETC.

Does 3.5 need ICMP communication to the Default Gateway as part of the standard config for VMHA?
