• VShield endpoint license - vSphere 5.0/5.1 - TrendMicro Deep Security

  Hello

  as you probably know, the license of endpoint vShield is now includede in all editions of vSphere 5.1 and kits (besides essentials).

  I am about to install Trend Micro deep Security on a vSphere installation 5.0. Now someone if you must upgrade to vSphere 5.1 to have vShield endpoint licenses available or if you can stay on 5.0?

  My problem is that TrendMicro Deep Security 9.0 (which supports vSphere 5.1) is not yet published. Deep Security 8.0 doesn't support vSphere 5.1 - only vSphere 5.0.

  best regards

  Your safe,

  Hello

  In order to use vShield Endpoint, you must always install POSSIBLE vShield Manager, which you should be able to download as a vSphere client. This download is not with POSSIBLE packages packages of vSphere.

• VShield endpoint

  Hello

  I just bought my first 100 VMview licenses and a part of the package, I received 100 licenses of vshield endpoint that I don't know. I have currently physical our pc AV solution through Setup of Mcafee epo policy management control.

  Not knowing anything about this new product I decided to contact VM licenses and ask what the product. VMware licenses me has informed everything I need for my VM AV solution is to build a virtual machine and my Mcafee on this PC and this basic VM agents all my other 100 VM is also protected.

  Now I cannot see Mcafee being too happy with this, but would appreciate it if someone could confirm if this is correct. I'm not interested in edge sucurity or anything like that either other than my new computers of 100 Office VMview protecting.

  Is it correct that I don't need is a simple VM with a single mcafee agent installed.

  Thank you

  Existing VM products do not work with vShield Endpoint. New solutions should be released by AV providers who work with endpoint, or their existing products need to be updated to work with the endpoint. For example, currently, we use Symantec Endpoint Protection. Symantec needs either release a update of MS, or release a new product, which is compatible with vShield Endpoint. All new product AV will have a device that is running on the vSphere host. A vShield endpoint agent will be installed on each desktop virtual view. This agent will work with the device of the AV vendor for the office and protect it. I don't know whether or not McAfee has released such a product yet. Trend Micro has Deep Security, who works with the endpoint. Symantec doesn't have a product yet endpoint, although I'm awaiting him impatiently. That's what I understand of the product.

• vShield Endpoint install via POWERCLI or ESXCLI?

• Error after the deployment of vShield endpoints (Guest Service of Introspection is not ready)

  Hi all

  I get the error 'Guest Service of Introspection is not ready' after I deployed vShield endpoints of the NSX.

  I'm this deployment on a cluster with three ESXi hosts and after deployment, it also creates Machines virtual "comments Introspection' three (one on each ESXi).

  Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

  

  

  It is in the release notes for 6.1.3:

  Can not remove and add a host in a cluster protected by Introspection comments and third-party security solutions

  If you remove a host in a cluster protected by Introspection comments and third-party security solutions by unplugging him and then detached from vCenter Server, you may experience problems if you try to add the same host again to the same cluster.

  I was able to reproduce your problem by making what is described here.  You can see some advantages moving cluster hosts, removing services of introspection of comments, adding hosts on the cluster and add the service of introspection of comments again.  I went as far as remove vCenter hosts, but it probably isn't necessary.

• location of deployment for the vShield endpoints (cluster compute or management? or both?)

  Hello

  I'm trying to deploy endpoints vShield.

  I have the following groups:

  • Compute Cluster has
  • Compute Cluster B
  • Management & Cluster Edge

  OM this cluster do we need to implement endpoint vShield generally?

  It's on all of them? Or only clusters of calculation? Or only the pole of management?

  This answer depends on what you are trying to activate by deploying vShield endpoints.  They are deployed on each host.  You would deploy the vShield Endpoint VMs on any host that will be the services that vShield Endpoint.

  Note: NSX 6.1, vShield Endpoint has been improved with the introspection of comments.

• vShield Endpoint - how to install

  Do you need vShield Manager to install or run vShield Endpoint? All of the documentation I've found so far to install vShield Endpoint all have me install the Manager and the App. I don't want to do that.

  I need the installation of Endpoint vShield to run patterns deep safety.

  Can you please indicate what needs to be done with all the links that will help.

  Concerning

  Ron

  The "correct" answer is that vShield Manager you will tell if the host is willing and ready to vShield EndPoint.  It is the authoritative source.  To start manually around the rooting in the server ESX directly will be a pain in the neck, (b) I have a list of 'bits' in the hand and (c) if vShield Manager don't think he's happy, he's not happy, no matter what may or may not be on the ESX Server.

  An indirect response, I know, but probably one that suits.  vShield has some detailed current technologies, and in my experience, it is preferable to use it through the exposed and not too "smart" mechanisms on this subject!

• Problem assigning vShield edge licenses

  We have a cluster running vCenter 5.1 standard with 3 hosts ESXi 4.1 under license with vSphere 4 Enterprise Plus keys. Recently, I've deployed a vCloud Director 5.1 with a Manager Server 5.1.2 Server vShield. I was able to successfully add the vCenter vCloud and vShield Manager. Then when I try to add our license of vShield edge in vCenter as the installation guide document, I can't find the CIS or POSSIBLE asset in vCenter section "permit". Is it because we lack of vSphere 4 license?

  

  The problem is now resolved. Recently, we are improving our vCenter 4.1 to 5.1. The appliance Manager vShield was installed before the upgrade. After the upgrade, I didn't perform a reboot of the vCenter server. Once I restarted the server vCenter, he was able to found the vShield active Edge of the appliance Manager vShield.

• trying to find info on the works of vshield endpoint

  without having to read the value of 1000 pages of documentation, I tried to find an article of high level/demo on how agentless anti virus works.

  For example all traffic goes through the third-party device, how it detects no viruses on the virtual computer current, is the device endpoint to become a bottle neck.

  Searched everywhere.  A lot of what products can only, on how it does.

  Any ideas?  I tried you tube, the seller, site vmwares sites, ect...

  nothing about the way it does

  If the sellers say how it does, they could end up bankrupt.

  Just to give a simple explanation, vshield allows virtual machine drivers, these drivers have the understanding of the corresponding API call that. These API's endpoints of suppliers. The main communication is done via vmware tools.

  That said, consider instead of having to install an antivirus on all THE virtual machines, you can install the AV db in a virtual machine and have the corresponding management software to use agents to get information about the virtual machines on which files have been modified, perform analysis of all files in the virtual machines.

  While it is a very simple explanation, look at the jpg attached for better understanding.

• What are the products available for integration of endpoint vShield?

  Hi all

  I noticed that this question was asked a few months ago, and the response at this time was 'TrendMicro Deep Security' is the only product available that integrates with vShield Endpoint.

  I was wondering if something changed recently? I searched Web sites and documentation for all well-known sellers of protection antiviruss and don't find any mention of other vShield produced endpoint that may be available.

  I noticed that a few days ago TrendMicro & VMware announced a closer alliance, this may indicate that other providers are not serious about vShield yet?

• Need some comments on this license I should buy.

  I have 2 servers to virtualization in. 2 8 CPU cores to come. We probably 5-6 virtual computer running. I thought I have to go with vSphere Essentials or Essentials but I'm confused about one thing. In the past I have vCenter Server installed on a dedicated server on. Is it an additional license or come Essentials and Essentials Plus with that? Can I just install vCenter on a virtual machine on one of the 2 hosts or to be on its own box? Some have started the installation of the last one I made in measuring and licensing and everything and then I took over. I am very familiar with Veeam and was looking to go down this path and and replicate by using these 2 servers. Is there another function, I need to really consider paying the extra money for the more version?

  Thanks in advance,

  Keith

  Is it an additional license or come Essentials and Essentials Plus with that?

  vCenter Essentials is part of the Essentials and Essentials Plus kit.

  Can I just install vCenter on a virtual machine on one of the 2 hosts or to be on its own box?

  No need to have dedicated host to vCenter server, you can run it in a virtual machine in one of these two ESXi hosts, you're going to have. Just make sure that you have enough resources left to run your production on these hosts workload after your management as vCenter server etc..

  with respect to the use of alternatives to backup/replication of third parties who use the vSphere API, Essentials would do the job. Don't consider using Essentials more if you need these good feature as vSphere Hypervisor, vMotion, high availability, Data Protection, - vShield Endpoint, vSphere replication see more at: https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/compare#sthash.GZQ46vix.dpuf

  So if you spend money on much more, you will then go to third-party solutions for backup/replication, because he will then be part of the solution as you have the right to use vSphere Data Protection (WTP) and vSphere replication as it is.

• Question of endpoint vSheild

  I'm not sure that completely understand the concept of this aspect of vSphere. From what I understand, it's a device that you install on each of your ESXi servers. It is then able to make a virus at a disk level scan, however if you want to do the antivirus and malware at the memory level you must buy another part from another manufacturer who has an application with the ability to use the API Endpoint vSheild makes available.

  Is this correct? So if I wanted to protect my VMs, I will need to buy vSheild endpoint for n number of virtual machines that would allow me to install a device on a number y of ESXi hosts. Then I would need to buy an additional has / product V and comply with their license scheme (by host / by vm / by whatever) to obtain a full A / V. solution

  • You need an appliance Manager of vShield for vCenter, not by the host.
  • License only vShield Endpoint
  • Purchase (example Trend Micro deep Security) compatible antivirus software
  • Currently, vShield does not provide an API to do analysis in memory

• 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
