Vizioncore Support Policy
Vizioncore attempts to support all .dot versions of ESX Server within 60-90 days of
release. However, changes to the platform can create unforeseen circumstances, causing
an unexpected delay in providing support.
Support for all major versions of ESX Server is to be determined. Vizioncore has the
right to change this policy without prior notice or notification.
Database Requirements
vReplicator requires a SQL database to record replication job information. The process
below describes installing a new instance of SQL Express 2005 to configure the product
database.
Port Requirements
Before beginning the installation, confirm that the ports listed below are available. If your
environment includes any component (e.g., a firewall) that might restrict communication
between the machines involved in replication, make certain that these ports allow for
unimpeded access.
Port Direction Function
22 TCP vReplicator: outgoing
Host servers: incoming and
outgoing
Unimpeded network SSH access from
vReplicator to both VI3 hosts.
Bidirectional access between source VI3 and
destination VI3.
443 TCP vReplicator: outgoing Used for VI3 host communications and
VC 2.x.
902 TCP vReplicator: outgoing Used for VI3 host communications and
VC 2.x.
Note: Root SSH access is disabled by default in ESX Server 3.0. Setting up a non-root account
and providing vReplicator with the root password allows for replication with root disabled over
SSH. Otherwise, you can enable root over SSH by editing the PermitRootLogin value in
sshd_config on this unit: vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
