      First, verify your Java VM version. If it's not supported, install a supported version. Ensure HTTP communication via TCP port 80 and HTTPS communication via TCP port 443 is available. Also, check communication via TCP port 5001. Verify that communication using these ports is available between the system console and the server blade BMC. If using Oracle Java Version 7 Update 21 or later, refer to the section on Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 7 update25 or later.
