After Powering up the servers even couples of times. You might have a strange boot up issue with your Hypervisor and and IBM XSeries with an EFI Firmware.

During the last stage of the Boot Sequence you might received :

Hypervisor : Boot Failed or the system loop and restart.

To avoid this behavior, Go to your System Boot Sequence and ADD : Legacy Only as the first Boot Device.

This will force the EFI to turn off and boot as a Normal “Legacy” Bios and Power up again your Hypervisor !

Thanks to the IBM Technical support for this one.

For everyone you have a Sonicwall with enhanced OS and you want to forward a services but the WAN port need to be different from the LAN port. This one is a bit tricky.

Scenario Terminal Services Session

external IP : Port 3387 to Internal IP Port 3389

Create your WAN port Services (if it’s not Standard based on our scenario : 3387)

In the Sonicwall Management :

Go to :

Network -> Services -> Add Service *** Do not add a Services Group ! ***

Name : Custom RDP
Protocol : TCP(6)
Port Range : 3387 – 3387

Create you port forwarding with the Public Server Wizard as usual. (This is more simple all the rules will be created including the NAT)

Go to: Firewall, On the Top, Select Wizards
Select Public Server Wizard, Next
Select the services Type Created previously : Custom RDP, Next
Enter your internal server IP, Next
Enter your Public server IP, Next

Apply, Close

After we will modify the Translation Port manually.

Go To :

Network, Interface, NAT Policies.

Choose you NAT policy :

• Original Source: Any
• Translated Source: Original
• Original Destination: rdp_publicIP
• Translated Destination: rdp_privateIP
• Original Service: Custom RDP
• Translated Service: Terminal Services RDP
• Inbound Interface: WAN
• Outbound Interface: Any
• Comment: Enter a short description
• Enable NAT Policy: Checked
• Create a reflective policy: Unchecked

The Translated Service must be change from Original to The internal Server port

Click OK

Test your RDP with you RDP client :

Address : PublicIP:3387

This should be good !
