esxi/drp-port-disable¶

Set the ESXi firewall to disable outbound access to DRP API service.

For installation of ESXi to succeed, the Machine being installed must be able to reach the DRP API service port. This allows for some Python hackery to notify DRP to set the Machine to boot local disk, and other actions.

Once the Machine has been installed, it is possible to disable the outbound open port access in the firstboot section. Doing so will disable the ESXi instance from being able to communicate with the dr-provision API service unless the port is opened again.

You can manually enable/disable the API service port access with the following esxcli (or equivalent localcli) command:

esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id=dr-provision --enabled=true

Set the true state to false to disable the port access.
