Hardware/Software Firewall

Resolution

The following TCP and UDP ports should be open for configuring the OST device.

INBOUND (From the OST appliance to the backup server)
--------------- 
TCP - 111, 139, 2049, 2051, 2052 
UDP - 111, 137, 138 

OUTBOUND (From the backup server to the OST appliance)
---------------- 
TCP - 2051

Note: In case if the above solution does not work, EMC supports needs to be involved.
