HP OneView for VMware vCenter Installation Guide (7.4)

NOTE:
• If you have a Proxy-enabled Windows client and an vSphere 5.x/ESXi 5.x host using iLO or
other management software, disable or bypass the Proxy Server for the connection between
the HP OneView for vCenter/vSphere Client and iLO on the ProLiant server running as an
vSphere 5.x/ESXi 5.x host system.
• If you are using a Windows firewall, enable the firewall to access the ports listed in the final
panel that is presented by the installer as shown in the sample figure below. The list will vary
depending on the combination of modules (Storage, Server, RMV) that are installed. The sets
of default port numbers for combinations of the modules that are installed are listed in “Default
port values” (page 29).
