Installing the vShield Manager 3

VMware vShield provides firewall protection, traffic analysis, and network perimeter services to protect your

vCenter Server virtual infrastructure. vShield virtual appliance installation has been automated for most virtual

datacenters.

The vShield Manager is the centralized management component of vShield. You use the vShield Manager to

monitor and push configurations to vShield App, vShield Endpoint, and vShield Edge instances. The vShield

Manager runs as a virtual appliance on an ESX host.

VMware vShield is included with VMware ESX 4.0 and 4.1. The base VMware vShield package includes the

vShield Manager and vShield Zones. You can configure the vShield Zones firewall rule set to monitor traffic

based on IP address-to-IP address communication.

Installing the vShield Manager is a multistep process. You must perform all of the tasks that follow in sequence

to complete vShield Manager installation successfully.

To enhance your network security posture, you can obtain licenses for vShield App, vShield Endpoint, and

vShield Edge.

The vShield Manager virtual machine is packaged as an Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) file, which

allows you to use the vSphere Client to import the vShield Manager into the datastore and virtual machine

inventory.

Install the vShield Manager Virtual Appliance

You can install the vShield Manager virtual machine on an ESX host in a cluster configured with DRS.

You must install the vShield Manager into the vCenter that the vShield Manager will be interoperating with.

A single vShield Manager serves a single vCenter Server environment.
