Ports (Storage Systems)
On backup infrastructure components, Veeam Backup & Replication automatically creates firewall rules for the required ports. These rules allow communication between the components. You can find the full list of the ports below.
The following section describes ports that must be opened to ensure proper communication with different storage systems involved in storage system snapshot integration:
- Dell Unity XT, Unity storage Storage System Snapshot Integration
- Dell PowerScale (formerly Isilon) storage
- HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage
- HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, Alletra 9000, Primera storage
- HPE Alletra 5000, Alletra 6000, Nimble storage
- Lenovo ThinkSystem DM/DG Series storage
- NetApp ONTAP storage
- Nutanix Files storage
- Universal storage API integrated system
If any basic backup infrastructure components will also be used, you also need to open ports for these components. For example, Backup Server. You may also need to open ports for other features described in this section. For example, Guest Processing.
