Esxi Host requirements - sdc install

What are the requirements for the esxi host in reference to services running and firewall ports?

I am assume ssh has to be running and the esxi shell.

Do I need to open any  ports on the firewall of the esxi host?

This is our current environment:

ScaleIO v2.0-6035.0

Windows 2012 r2 datacenter

vcenter 6.0.0, 3634793

(4) esxi 6.0.0 3620759

When I push an  sdc install to a host this is the message I get. Note I have full access to the esxi host from the vcenter environment.

hostname - failed - ssh connection failed
