verification of vShield Manager record vCenter

I'm installing vShield Manager in my environment of vCloud/vSphere 'assessment '.  Working from the vShield Quickstart document [1], the vCenter configuration section says to check the configuration by going to "vSphere Client, select an ESX host and make sure that the vShield appears as a tab.

First of all, I use the vSphere Web Client, not the client application, then where would this 'tab' be in the user interface?

Then, just to check, I went in the client application, and I couldn't find the tab anyway.

HOWEVER, when I go into the web interface of vShield, I see the data centers of my vCenter in the tree of "inventory" on the left side; such, it seems that the vCenter has been saved successfully.

ALSO, is there an interface in the vCloud Director to control the vShield?

Can someone give an overview of these issues?  Thank you!

There is no such tag for the Web Client, 'functionality' (which is not really adding anything useful) is provided by a vSphere Client Plugin.

You can view the list of vCenter Server Extensions in the Web Client, which should list your vShield Manager like in this picture of the attached example.

Then, just to check, I went in the client application, and I couldn't find the tab anyway.

Make sure that the vShield Manager plugin is enabled in the vSphere Client.

HOWEVER, when I go into the web interface of vShield, I see the data centers of my vCenter in the tree of "inventory" on the left side; such, it seems that the vCenter has been saved successfully.

If this is the case, then Yes, the connection between the vShield Manager and vCenter is good.

  • How to separate vShield Manager with vCenter

    People, we have installed vShield manager. Before you configure devices such as EDGE or APP, we decided to go for some change major grace to which we would like to uninstall the vShield Manager. I just wanted to know how we can separate vShield Manager with vCenter or simply if I delete device it will be deleted?

    Please help.

    Thank you and best regards.

    Hari.

    No,

    VShield manager is a device managed by plug-in.

    If you previously uninstall component vshield vshield link manager, you can remove the device and then remove the plug in. (like other component like Vmware Data recovery,...)

    Kind regards

  • vShield Manager interface network & group of port / vlan

    Hello:

    I'm new to vShield and looking to use it in our environment.  I read the documentation and seeks to install the first part, the Device Manager vShield.  By reading the docs, it specifies the management interface for the vShield Manager is in its own group of port.  Why is this?  Is it okay to put this interface in a group of existing port?  Is it possible in a port with another management SMV Group (vCenter, etc.)?  Also, is it better practice to have this in a standard vs dvswitch, or isn't it important?  I was looking through posts and the other docs and so far I don't see a clear reason why it must be in its own group of port.

    So far, the only element that we will consider is vShield Endpoint, for now.  We have no plans to watch App or Edge, etc.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    The Manager can be put on any standard or distributed port group. Do not create any new groups-port. The only thing that is necessary to access vCenter/SSO and DNS, NTP server (mirror).

    There is no need to create a new. IMHO, this could be a failure in the doc.

    Kind regards

    Thank you for help me alots.

    have you tried to go to your manage & Monitor tab and then access your vcenter and see if there are errors in saying vsphield id inaccessible. If there ar enone, you could try reconnecting to vcenter and also specify the credentials for vshield manager. And then you try to do the task.

  • vShield Manager investment - clarification of required documentation

    I'm trying to deploy vShield Manager in our test environment and dev (before we implement production).

    I have read the documentation "vShield Installation and Upgrade Guide - vShield Manager 5.1". On page 20, the following statement is made:

    NOTE do not place the management interface of the vShield Manager in the same port as well as the Service Console VMkernel group.

    Question:

    Is it OK for the vShield Manager to be in the same subnet and VLAN as the Service Console and VMkernel, with the help of a group of dedicated ports?

    For example, I create another port that has the same VLAN as the VMkernel and Service and the vShield Manager Console uses this group?

    Let me explain with an example.

    On page 19, the following statement is made:

    With vShield 5.0 and later, you can install the vShield Manager in a different vCenter as the vShield Manager is going to be that interacts with. A single vShield Manager offers a server environment unique vCenter.

    vCenter1

    • It's the vCenter the vShield Manager will be deployed to
    • It uses the portgroup 'Network management' with 18 VLAN for the Service Console and VMkernel
    • It's on the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet

    vShield Manager

    • This vShield Manager runs under vCenter 1
    • It uses the portgroup 'Management network for vShield Manager ONLY' with 18 VLAN
    • This is where the management of the vShield Manager interface will run
    • It's on the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet

    vCenter2

    • It's the vCenter the vShield Manager will be Interoperation with
    • It is a virtual machine running under vCenter1
    • It's on the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet
    • It uses the portgroup 'Network management' with 18 VLAN for VM traffic

    So my question once again:

    Is it OK for the vShield Manager to be in the same subnet and VLAN as the Service Console and VMkernel, with the help of a group of dedicated ports?

    Yes, it's good to have the Manager on the same VLAN as the vmkernel interfaces.    According to your description below you will be fine and actually following practice correctly.

    Do know not why the docs say not to put it in the same portgroup as the vmkernel or console service that those are special exchanges and you can't put a virtual machine (the Director) in a GRPE ports console vmkernel or service.   I'll have our people docs on that paycheck.

  • Error adding vShield Manager in vCD

    I have tried a CEP of vCD and vShield using the. OVA on VMware.com
    I see error adding vShield Manager vCloud Director.
    I checked the vShield Manager, it works well, can connect display settings on the Web page.
    I tried to telnet vShiled Manager of port 442 vCD virtual machine, and that failed.

    What should I do next?

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    This may seem like a stupid answer, but it launched my butt when I started using vShield edge with vCloud.

    Connect to the device vShield edge with a web browser:

    https://vshieldedgedevice - one of the first options is to connect the edghe to a vcenter, the account used to connect vshield edge to vcenter - this is a good one to use because it configures all rights that edge will need on this account... (don't forget to login/pw)

    In vCloud use this login/pw.

    Now, here's what made me, the password cannot contain a few special tank - I forgot the list but I don't know ":" me before.

    Hope this helps

  • vShield manager installation

    I am trying to install vShield Manager because it must be run to install vCloud.

    Now Manager of vShield deployment went well, not to mention Manager I also installed vShield Endpoint on a cluster with two servers (I want to test deep security some time later).

    Everything seems fine, but strangely, I have found that the task of the latter, an infinite loop of "Scan, block ports in firewall, queries and open Firewall ports" appears.

    This happends on the servers of al in my lab, which is a server running, vshield vcenter and a group distinct from both servers.

    I forgot a few setting or configuration to stop this infinite loop?

    Concerning

    It's Normal. These are standard alarms/tasks after installing vshield & will be displayed whenever you select any ESX host.

  • Unable to connect to the vShield Manager

    Hello

    I have deployed just a test "vCloud Director camera 1.5" and in the "Attach new vCenter ' Assistant in the vCloud Director 1.5 portal, I was able to attach my vCenter fine credentials, but when he asked"vShield Connection Manager"I grabbed both FQDN or the IP address of the unit vShield Manager user/pass appropriate but still didn't work but gave an error"unable to connect to the vShield Manager. "

    I double check my two vSM01 DNS entries and vCD01 servers are looking backward/forward very well.  My IP model using base 192.168.1.xx without firewall or VLANS between the two, if someone has problems with that please advice.

    Thanks in advance!

    Works very well here. But I recommend certainly triple check DNS, as it is the thing that most often cause these problems.

    Hi Will,

    I investigated my own problems with my installation vShield Zones and found your post. I remembered reading this article and don't know if you've read or not.

    http://SearchVMware.TechTarget.com/Tip/0, 289483, sid179_gci1363438_mem1, 00.html

    Your interest is the section below.

    VMware Tools

    The vSphere Client will report that VMware Tools is not installed on the vShield Manager and agent of the virtual machines (VMS). Do not try to install VMware Tools on those virtual machines, because it is not necessary and performance optimization that provides VMware tools is already integrated into VMs vShield Zones

    I hope this helps...

  • Standard managed via vCenter essential Kit

    Hello

    We got 3 ESXi 4.1 cluster host, but the version doesn't matter, because we want to upgrade in the nearly future. The thing is that we also want to expand our infrastructure, lets say with 2 new hosts. This cluster has a kit with a single instance of critical vCenter more essential. If buy us a license for vCenter standard server and a standard for this 2 new host license will be able to manage in a Standard vCenter? (essentially more host kit 3 + host vSphere standard 2 - by vCenter)

    I dive with care through all licenses pappers from documentation and white, so I know that essential kits does not exceed 3 host limit, but if I buy the standard for vCenter license will be I be able to manage the two cluster throug or I have to re license old Kit essential cluster?

    I hope his celar enough

    Wojtek

    It does not work. Kits only Essentials, you can manage with vCenter Server Standard are the "Retail and Branch Office Kits". In your case, you will need to purchase CPU licenses for all guests. What may be interesting to watch from a cost standpoint, is an upgrade of the Kit Essentials Plus a kit of acceleration (including vCenter Server Standard and 6 licenses processors) and then buy the CPU licenses also required.

    TIA!

    You will need vcenter Server 5 manage ESXi 5 and/or guests earlier.
