1.1.2 Required Network Resources

The Orchestrate Server must allow traffic on TCP ports 80, 8001, 8100, 8101 (these four ports are
configurable), and UDP and TCP port 1099 (mandatory). The following list summarizes the
network resources required in a PlateSpin Orchestrate setup:
Port 80 is used for the Server Portal when monitoring is not installed. When monitoring is
installed, the monitoring related Apache server takes port 80 and the Server Portal is moved to
port 8080. The Monitoring Server transparently routes communication for the PlateSpin
Orchestrate Server Portal to port 8080.
Port 8001 is used for communication with the Administrator Information page.
Port 8100 is used with a custom protocol for communication with the Orchestrate Agent and
for invoking the zos command line interface or opening the Java* Developer's toolkit.
Port 8101 is also used for invoking the zos command line interface or opening the Java
Developer's toolkit by using TLS.
Port 1099 is used with RMI for invoking the zosadmin command line interface and/or for
running the Orchestrate Development Client.
Monitored systems (physical and virtual) send metrics to the Monitoring Server on UDP port 8649.
The Monitoring Server is installed on the same system as the PlateSpin Orchestrate Server.
Connections to VM consoles are accommodated through a VNC client. Typically, this means TCP
port 5900 for the first VM on a VM host, 5901 for the second, and so on. Note that these connections
go to the VM host, exposing the console on behalf of the VM.
Datagrid multicast file transfers use UDP ports 4011-4014 are used. UDP port 4000 is used as a
datagrid multicast request port and a control channel port. Multicast groups for datagrid multicast-
based file transfers are 239.192.10.10-14.
The following illustration shows these relationships.
