Enter in the vcenter OVF Deployment Wizard Properties page Enter in the Data Director Initial Setup Wizard Network Setup page Data Director Management Server Data Director DB Name Server vcenter Server All ESXi hosts vcenter Update Manager Server SMTP mail server Database VMs Database clients ( ODBC / JDBC / SQL) User web browsers The following ports need to be accessible (confirm all): Port 80 (to end user web browsers) Port 443 (to end user web browsers) Port 25 (for outgoing SMTP mail traffic) Port 587 (for outgoing SMTP mail traffic) Port 5488 is open (vsphere traffic) Port 5489 is open (vsphere traffic) Port TCP 53 is open (DNS traffic) Port UDP 53 is open (DNS traffic) Port 5432 is open (Database traffic) Network settings: Gateway: Netmask: DNS 1: DNS 2: Management Server Web Console Network Adapter IP address range: The first 5 addresses in this range are used to configure the remaining Data Director server NICs. The rest are used for a database IP pool. Default setup Create default setup The resource pool and datastore used for the System Resource Bundle can also be used to provision databases.

17 DB Access Networks DB Access Networks carry SQL traffic between database client applications and database VMs. These networks are not configured during Data Director installation. Instead, they are made available when Data Director system administrators define resource bundles in the Data Director web console and assign the resource bundles to organizations.
