Backup Exec 12.5 with RALUS backing up VMDKs on VMWare ESX 3.5

DilbertW01
Level 3

I have an ESX 3.5 VMWare  server with inactive (shutdown VM's) vmdk files with the Backup Exec 12.5 RALUS agent.  The RALUS agent is installed with the ESX server visible to the Backup Exec server.

 

The firewall config has these ports open:

 

Opened ports:
        Ralus               : port 8197 tcp.in
        Ralus               : port 8194 tcp.in
        Ralus               : port 8193 tcp.in
        Ralus               : port 6101 tcp.in tcp.out
        Ralus               : port 10000 tcp.in tcp.out
        Ralus               : port 8198 tcp.in
        Ralus               : port 8192 tcp.in
        veeamAgent          : port 2500 tcp.in
        Ralus               : port 6102 tcp.in tcp.out
        Ralus               : port 8195 tcp.in
        Ralus               : port 8196 tcp.in

 

On Backup Exec 12.5, I have set the dynamic port range to 10000 - 10000.  When the job runs, it almost immediately fails with this:

 

V-79-57344-65072 - The connection to target system has been lost. Backup set canceled.

 

If I do an 'esxcfg-firewall stop' before the backup job, it completes successfully.  So, it is clearly the ESX firewall that is preventing the job from completing.  Any suggestions?
