IMPORTANT:

If you have a Proxy-enabled Windows client and an ESXi host using iLO or other management
software, you must disable or bypass the Proxy Server for the connection between the Insight
Control for vCenter/vSphere Client and iLO on the ProLiant server running as an ESX/ESXi
host system. For instructions, see

“Error Communicating with iLO at VM host” (page 95)

.

If you are using a Windows firewall, enable the firewall to access the ports used by Insight
Control for vCenter.

An administrator can:
