Required ports
Agent for oVirt connects to the oVirt engine by using the URL that you specify when you configure the virtual appliance. Usually, the engine URL has the following format: https://ovirt.company.com. In this case, the HTTPS protocol and port 443 are used.
Non-default oVirt settings may require another port. You can find the exact port by analyzing the URL format. For example:
| oVirt engine URL | Port | Protocol |
| https://ovirt.company.com/ | 443 | HTTPS |
| http://ovirt.company.com/ | 80 | HTTP |
| https://ovirt.company.com:1234/ | 1234 | HTTPS |
No additional ports are required for disk Read/Write operations, because the backup is performed in the HotAdd mode.
