NOTE When deploying
the OMSA agent by using the Fix non-compliant vSphere hosts link available from the Compliance window in OMIVV, OMIVV starts the http client service and enables
port 8080 on releases after ESXI 5.5 to download the OMSA VIB and
install it. After the OMSA VIB installation is complete, the service
automatically stops and the port is closed.
Use the following port settings for OMIVV:
