Use the requirements in this section to plan your deployment of the Cloud Manager Application Server.
The network machine where you install Cloud Manager Application Server software must meet the requirements in Table 2-5:
Table 2-5 Application Server Requirements
Item |
Requirement |
---|---|
Operating System |
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 4 (SLES 11 SP 4) on the 64-bit (x86-64) architecture (Intel processor or AMD Opteron processor) |
Hardware |
If the Cloud Manager Application Server and Cloud Manager Orchestration Server are on the same server, the following are minimum requirements:
|
Database |
PostgreSQL 9.2 (included with SLES 11 SP 4) You can use a local or external PostgreSQL database for use with the Orchestration Server. We recommend that you install and run PostgreSQL on a different server than where you install Orchestration Server. |
Authentication Source |
Cloud Manager supports the following authentication methods:
|
Table 2-6 identifies the ports and protocols required by the Cloud Manager Application Server. The ports (or their substitutes if you are not using the defaults) must be open for both inbound and outbound communication.

Port Number |
Protocol |
Function |
---|---|---|
8061 |
TCP |
Used by ESB HTTP. |
8102 |
TCP |
(secure) Used by Karaf SSH. |
8181 |

Used by the Karaf Management console. |
8182 |
TCP |
(not secure) Used by Jetty HTTP (default). |
8183 |
TCP |
(secure) Used by Jetty HTTPS (default). |
10990 |
TCP |
Used by the RMI Registry. |
61613 |
TCP |
Used by the active MQ Stomp. |
61616 |
TCP |
Used by the active MQ Openwire. |
VNC ports (1000–1xxx) |
TCP |
Used by connections to VM consoles through a VNC client. By default, a VNC proxy port is chosen at random, however the port can be set by the Cloud Administrator in the Configuration page of the Cloud Manager Web Console. There is also an option for an external proxy to offload the traffic from the Cloud Manager Application Server. Typically, this means TCP port 1000 for the first VM on a VM host, 1001 for the second, and so on. These connections go to the VM host, exposing the console on behalf of the VM.
