Dell PowerStore Importing External Storage to PowerStore Guide

Dell VNX2 and Dell Unity port requirements for file-based data import

To import file-based data from a Dell VNX2 system to a PowerStore cluster, PowerStore should be able to access the following ports on the Dell VNX2 system:

• To establish import connections: ports 22, 2022, 443 (for block import only), and 5989 (for block import only)
• For NFS VDM import: ports 111, 1234, and 2049
• For SMB (CIFS) VDM import: port 445
• For FLR-enabled file system import: port 5080
  NOTE:On the Dell VNX2 source system, the physical Data Mover that is configured with the DHSM service can be set to a different port than the default port 5080. This port must match on both Dell VNX2 and PowerStore in order for the import of FLR-enabled file systems to succeed. To import FLR-enabled file systems, if the source Dell VNX2 Data Mover is not using the default port, If possible, change the Dell VNX2 Data Mover that is configured with the DHSM service to use the default port 5080 before creating the file import.

For more information related to ports on the Dell VNX2 system, refer to the EMC VNX Series Security Configuration Guide for VNX.

To import file-based data from a Dell Unity system to a PowerStore cluster, PowerStore should be able to access the following ports on the Dell Unity system:

• To establish import connections: ports 22, 443
• For NFS VDM import: ports 111, 1234, and 2049
• For SMB (CIFS) VDM import: port 445
• For FLR-enabled file system import: port 5080

For more information related to ports on the Dell Unity system, refer to the Dell Unity Family Security Configuration Guide.
