Description of problem: According to customer a document for all network connections is needed to build up an RHEV environment. Also a point customer mentioned that to have a picture of the connections is helping much more than just a table with some short description somewhere in the documentation. Customer has given a link to a KB article from vmware as a reference as below: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2131180 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.6
We are unlikely to get to this during 4.2.z.

Actually, I wonder if having a sortable table would completely alleviate the need for a diagram.

Comment on attachment 1517198 [details] Proposed diagram #2, Virtualization Host Firewall Requirements Disregard this diagram - See diagram #3 instead.
Hi Chethan. Please have a look at proposed diagrams #1 and #3. Do these satisfy the customer's information needs? Would appreciate your feedback. When we've finalized the information these show, we'll ask the graphics team to produce professional quality renderings of the same. Thank you!
Rolfe, Thank you for your efforts. Diagrams look good to me but I have forwarded those to the customer for further recommendations. I will update this BZ as soon as I get approval/suggestion from the customer. Hope this will help. -- ChetanN

Comments for the "Red Hat Virtualization Manager Firewall Requirements" diagram as compared to [1]: 1. "Vm Portal clients" also has access to "Red Hat Virtualization Manager" over 6100 (row 5) 2. 54323/TCP (7) should go from "Administration Portal Clients" to "Red Hat Virtualization Manager with ImageIO proxy" and not to "Red Hat Virtualization Manager" Comments for the "Red Hat Virtualization Host Firewall Requirements" diagram as compared to [2]: - Diagram and table match exactly. - Diagram is beautiful, I would consider colourizing some of the arrows for better clarity.

IMO the diagrams are quite dense, so concatenating them into a single diagram would be counter-productive. Also, technically, they are not related because one is about the configuration required on the Manager and the other is about the configuration required on the hosts. So an admin person would be anyway following them separately and in a sequential order. At least, if we are forced to provide a unified diagram, we should also provide the two separate ones in our documentation. IMO it would be more beneficial to add the purpose (as documented in the tables) of the arrows (ports) on the diagrams so that a use may know what service to expect when each configuration is completed. Also, using colors would make the diagrams clearer.
I created bug 1667131 for the ports I missed.
