• Fault Management CIM Indication Listener Port — This port is used to listen for CIM indications
from ESXi hosts managed through the Management application’s host adapter discovery.
The two ports described above are part of the range of ports reserved for use by the Management
application server, configurable during installation from the Server Configuration wizard. Refer to
the Installation and Migration Guide for server configuration instructions.

support operating systems other than ESXi.

CIM server is disabled and the Management application attempts discovery without authentication.
