Site Recovery Manager (SRM) and vSphere Replication can experience problems if the required network ports are not open. Site Recovery Manager fails to establish site pairing due to connection termination over port 8095.Site Recovery Manager connection to remote site breaks frequently.
In a SRM or vSphere Replication deployment, both the protected and recovery sites must be able to resolve their connected vCenter Server by name. The respective ports must be open on both sites for uninterrupted communication.For the list of default ports that all VMware products use, see TCP and UDP Ports required to access vCenter Server, ESXi/ESX hosts, and other network components (1012382). For the list of default ports that SRM 5.8 uses, see Network Ports for Site Recovery Manager 5.8 (2081159). For the list of default ports that vSphere Replication 5.8 and 6.0 uses, see Port Numbers that must be open for vSphere Replication 5.8.x and 6.0 (2087769).For the list of default ports that SRM 6.0 uses, see Network Ports for Site Recovery Manager 6.0 (2103394).
You must ensure that all the required network ports are open for Site Recovery Manager (SRM) and vSphere Replication to function correctly.

Site Recovery Manager 5.0.x to 5.5.x and vSphere Replication 1.0.x to 5.5.x network ports The different components that make up SRM and vSphere Replication deployments, namely vCenter Server, SRM Server, the vSphere Replication appliance, and vSphere Replication servers require different ports to be open.Image of the ports that SRM and vSphere Replication use:Note: For the full size image and other graphic representations of the port relationships, see the images attached at the bottom of this article. vCenter Server and ESXi 5.x network port requirements for SRM SRM and vSphere Replication require certain ports to be open on vCenter Server: Default PortProtocol or DescriptionSourceTargetDescription80HTTPSRMRemote vCenter ServerAll management traffic to SRM Server goes to port 80 on the vCenter Server proxy system.443HTTPSSRMvCenter ServerDefault SSL web port902TCPSRMRemote ESXi hostTraffic from the SRM Server on the recovery site to ESX hosts when recovering or testing virtual machines with IP customization, with configured callout commands on recovered virtual machines, or that use raw disk mapping (RDM).

In SRM 5.1 and later and vSphere Replication 5.x, vSphere Replication is shipped as a combined appliance that contains both the vSphere Replication management server (VRMS) and a vSphere Replication server. SRM 5.x allows you to deploy additional vSphere Replication servers.Note: vSphere Replication management servers must have NFC traffic access to target ESXi hosts.
