interactions Cloudstack Vmware
Hello,
I'm searching in the internet for interaction issues (Ports, protocol ,...
) between cloudstack and vmware (vcenter,..) but i can't find any helpful
docs.
Can any one help me to understand interactions or send me some architecture
docs explaining interactions.
Best Regards,

"Cloudstack send requests via https but reponse is it on https too?"
That would be my guess, the entire interaction for vCenter should be
over 443.

thank you for informations.
Exactly i would like to know what protocol vcenter uses to send reponse to
cloudstack.
Cloudstack send requests via https but reponse is it on https too?

Re: interactions Cloudstack Vmware

Interaction happens on several layers.
Using VMware SDK, CloudStack Management Server initially talks to
vCenter over 443. However, you will also see some interaction between
Storage VM as well as Proxy VM to vCenter and ESXi hosts directly.
Are you experiencing any issues or is this for firewall/security review?
If you are attempting to troubleshoot the issue, the easiest way is to
look at the logs as well as "netstat -antup | grep -i time", look for
all unestablished connections to see where the flow goes and what needs
to be open. I do have a doc on communication flow, it may take a week or
little longer for me to post it online, since it is on one of the hard
drives @ work, and i'm working remotely this week.
If you need any help in the meantime, let me know,
Regards
ilya

Thanks for your response.
To configure vcenter on cloudstack we don't need to know interactions
between them , but i need informations for research issues.

I believe most of the traffic happens on HTTPS to vcenter.
we put the vcenter in our management network, so didn't really have to
puzzle with openings.
