A few days ago Troy Hampel (@MrTroyH) asked me on Twitter if I had some troubleshooting blogs about resource mapping permission in Site Recovery Manager 5, unfortunately I didn’t, simply because I did not came across any issues with permissions when I was implementing my SRM 5 infrastructure 🙂 But this gave me an idea to summarize the ports used by the Site Recovery Manager 5 between the Protected Site and the Recovery Site but also the local site communication.

vCenter Server

80 – HTTP
443 – SSL interface
902 – VMware management
8096 – Tomcat web server

vSphere Client

8095 – SRM client plugin to communicate with SRM server and vCenter Server (local site)
9007 – SRM client plugin to communicate with vCenter server (local site)

Site Recovery Manager Server

80 – SRM Server at Protected Site to vCenter Server at Recovery Site. SRM communication with local vCenter server and vSphere Client plug-in download
443 – SRM communication with remote vCenter Server via HTTP over SSL tunnel
902 – VMware management, needs to be open between SRM server and ESX(i) hosts
1433 – SRM Connectivity to Microsoft SQL Server (local site)
1521 – SRM Connectivity to Oracle (local site)
1526 – SRM Connectivity to Oracle (local site)
5000 – SRM Connectivity to IBM DB/2 (local site)
8095 – SOAP interface between the vCenter Server proxy and SRM
8123 – SOAP port between SRM and vSphere Replication Management server (local site)
9085 – HTTP interface for downloading the UI plugin and icons (local site)
9007 – SOAP interface for external API clients via WSDL
9008 – SOAP interface for external API clients via HTTP

vSphere Replication Management Server

80 – All traffic to SRM servers goes through the vCenter proxy
8043 – SOAP interface between the vCenter proxy and VRMS
8080 – VAMI Web UI for the VRMS appliance

vSphere Replication Server (if used)

902 – VMware management (specifically the NFC service), needs to be open between VR server and ESX(i) hosts on the same site
8123 – SOAP interface used by VRMS to manage VR servers (local site)
5480 – VAMI Web UI for the VR server (local site)
31031 – Initial replication traffic
44046 – Ongoing replication traffic

Storage Replication Adapters (if used)

See vendor documentation

All ports are TCP. No UDP ports are used by SRM 5.
