Hello,

I am trying to create a VMware pseudo client for VMware in a firewalled environment but after entering the credentials and click on ok  “validating credentials” it takes a long time then “Failed to validate Virtual Server credentials. Please check input parameters and try again.”

I have opened all required ports between MA and ESXI/vcenter according the matrix flow.

https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=32026.htm

test also with administrator@vsphere.local and it is the same

any logs I can check ?

Hi Bloopa,

Check cvd logs on VSA access node and EvMgs logs on CS. Make sure VSiDA installed machine that selected as VSA access node has communication to vCenter and ESXi servers with BOL provided ports open.

ELMA01 able to connect to VC, no issues there as per above logs. But check your cvfwd.log on both ELMA01 and ELCS01 machines, f/w rules, tunnel port (default 8403 or other user selected) and correct network topology b/w ELMA01 and ELCS01.centre.com, that has the issue. Resolve it then virtualization client creation will work.

@Gopinath Thanks, is it mandatory to create also a network topology when ports are opened and what topology I can use ?

RESTRICTED, BLOCKED ? it is pretty confused !

@Bloopa Seems ports are open b/w ELMA01 and VC but CS and VSA+MA also need to has communication in this f/w environment, you must configure the Commvault firewall.

Refer to these BOL pages for requirements and firewall settings.
