hmc 7.3 terminal window ports

[mpezeur]

hi, just recently I upgraded our HMC from 6.1.3 to 7.3.4. Today from my desktop I logged into HMC and tried to open a terminal session for one of my AIX lpars (running on p5 h/w), but the terminal window never appeared. I logged into one of our windows servers and connected to HMC and was able to open the terminal window just fine for any server. My desktop is in a VLAN while the server is on the same subnet as the hmc server. I haven't had this issue with v6.1.3. Does the new version of HMC use different port #'s to open terminal windows, that may be blocked by our firewall to my desktop?

I didn't even think of this as a browser issue. IE7 works fine with HMC and terminal windows to partitions but firefox (3.0.6) doesn't want to open the terminal window. Must be something in the browser that is blocking access

when I tunnel three HMCv7 ports: 443, 9960 and 8443 all works fine - also vterm (work with firefox 3.x). so, these ports should be enough for you.

you could also investigate which ports (eg. with tcpview) are tried to be opened when you are openning vterm on your laptop
