HP XP7 PA Software Installation Guide

IMPORTANT:
• If Adobe Flash Player v10.1.85.3 or later is installed on your management station, it blocks
commonly reserved ports as a security measure to prevent unauthorized activities. If a port
number is specified at the end of a URL, it is verified against the list of commonly reserved
ports. If the port number matches any entry in the list, the network request will be rejected and
a securityError event will be logged. So, ensure that the port you select is not listed in
the commonly reserved ports list. For the list of reserved ports, see http://kb2.adobe.com/
cps/402/kb402882.html.
• The Tomcat server in the SSL mode (HTTPS) will continue to use the default port 443, and
should not be changed.
• By default, port 80 is reserved on the management station for the XP7 Performance advisor
and host agents communication, during the HP XP7 Performance Advisor upgrade or the host
agents upgrade. You might experience connectivity issues in scenarios where you install HP
XP7 Performance Advisor and upgrade the host agents, or vice versa, and provide a port
number other than port 80 during the installation. The connectivity issue can arise after the
HP XP7 Performance Advisor or the host agents upgrade, as port 80 is still expected to be
used for the host agents to communicate with HP XP7 Performance Advisor. To resolve
connectivity issues, see the HP XP7 Performance Advisor Software Troubleshooting and FAQs
Guide.

For HP XP7 Performance Advisor to use the port of your choice, release that port's association with
any other application on your management station (if associated).
To know which application is using the port that you want, execute the following command:
C:\>netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0:<port #>
Example:
C:\>netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0:80
You can expect an outcome similar to the following:
