We are attempting to put together a development ArcGIS Enterprise build in Azure that uses the following:
- ArcGIS Server installed on a Windows VM (inc data store etc).
- ArcGIS Portal installed on a Windows VM.
The Server and Portal components (inc. Web Adaptors) have been installed manually on these VMs. We are NOT using Cloud Builder and do not wish to at this point for various reasons (mainly that this is not generally allowed to be used in customers environments).
Both VMs are within the same VNet and no specific firewall or NSG rules have been configured as by default all communication is allowed between VMs in the same VNet (as I understand it).
However, we are having connectivity issues when attempting to Add the ArcGIS Server to Portal (step 14 in https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/10.9/install/windows/tutorial-creating-your-first-web-gis-configuration.htm). When we do this it fails to connect to server on the admin URL (i.e. port 6443).
When trying to open to the admin URL (e.g. https://machine-name:6443/arcgis) via a browser on the Portal VM, it also fails to connect with a timeout. However, we can browse to the Server web adptor URL (e.g. https://machine-name/server) from the Portal VM with no issues. From this, we assume that something is blocking traffic on port 6443 from the Portal VM to the Server VM.
Does anyone know why we would have such communication issues between two VMs in the same VNet? Are there specific rules we need to configure to allow communication on port 6443?
We are using:
- Standard build Windows Server 2022 VMs in Azure.
- ArcGIS Server 10.9
- ArcGIS Portal 10.9
And are following the steps documented at https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/10.9/install/windows/tutorial-creating-your-first-web-gis-configuration.htm. Except that we are using two VMs and not a single machine deployment.
