Configure the Network Connection
When you install Orchestrator, the IP address for your server is set as not set. To change this, you must configure
the network settings used by Orchestrator.
Prerequisites
System administrators must make sure that the network provides a fixed IP, which is obtained by using a
properly configured DHCP server (using reservations) or by setting a static IP. The Orchestrator server requires
that this IP address remain constant while it is running.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 Click Network.
3 From the IP address drop-down menu, select the network interface to which to bind the Orchestrator
server.
Orchestrator discovers the IP address of the machine on which the server is installed.
When an interface is selected, the corresponding DNS name appears. If no network name is found, the IP
address appears in the DNS name text box. Use this IP address to log in to the Orchestrator client interface.
4 Set up the communication ports.
For more information about default ports, see “Orchestrator Network Ports,” on page 36.
5 Click Apply changes.
What to do next
Click SSL Certificate to load the vCenter SSL certificate in Orchestrator.
Orchestrator Network Ports
Orchestrator uses specific ports that allow communication with the other systems. Some of the communication
ports you must set are a subset of the standard ports that JBoss uses. The ports are set with a default value, but
you can change these values at any time. When you make the changes, make sure that all ports are free on your
host and, if necessary, open these ports on required firewalls.
Default Configuration Ports
Table 9-1 lists the default ports that Orchestrator needs to provide the Orchestrator service. You must configure
your firewall to allow incoming TCP connections.
NOTE Other ports might be required if you are using custom plug-ins.
