Port Assignments

You can change the default port assignments during the Oracle vSphere Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems installation.

The ports shown in the following table are used for all communications between the plug-in, the vCenter Server, and the Oracle FS System. These ports permit the vCenter Server and the vSphere Client to connect to and communicate with the plug-in.

If any of the port numbers are in use by other software, you can change them.

The following table summarizes the default port assignments.
