Table 1-2
Orchestrate Agent Requirements
1.1.4 VM Hosts
We recommend that computers designated as VM hosts in your data center be able to host the VM
and run it according to designated parameters of the specific VM. The processor architecture must
match the designated VM’s processor in architecture, although not in version number. In order for a
machine to serve as a host machine, it must also have a hypervisor installed along with the operating
system. For a detailed list of the supported hypervisors, see
Table 2-2 on page 69

Hardware
The Orchestrate 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 Orchestrate 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.
