Hardware |
The Orchestration Agent does not require a minimum hardware configuration other than a minimum recommended disk space of 100 MB. |
|
TCP Ports |
The computing node communicates with the Orchestration Server over a custom protocol. The server listens for the agent on port 8100 and 8101 (port 8101 is for secure agent connections). Network firewalls need to allow outgoing agent connections to these ports on the server. |
If you are installing the agent to a vSphere environment, you can install the agent either locally on the vCenter Server (the vCenter appliance is not supported), or on a dedicated system (virtual or physical) as long as the OS in that system is supported for the Orchestration Agent.
