VMware VSHIELD MANAGER 4.1 - Instrukcja Użytkownika Pobierz pdf (Strona 3)

1 About this guide

This document tells you how to set up your VMware environment, your virtual machines and

vShield security software.

After you complete these tasks, you will be ready to install Sophos Anti-Virus for vShield to protect

your virtual computers against malware and other threats.

Note

If you have already set up VMware and vShield, go straight to the Sophos Anti-Virus for VMware

vShield startup guide.

Disclaimer

We have written this guide to help you configure your VMware environment to work well with

Sophos Anti-Virus. We provide it in good faith and intend it to supplement VMware’s own

documentation or support advice. If you encounter issues, you should raise them with VMware

as usual.

2 What you install

2.1 The VMware software

To set up and manage your virtual machines (VMs), you install:

■

ESXi host. This is an application that runs on a server to enable it to host VMs.

■

vCenter. This is a console that lets you manage multiple ESXi hosts and VMs centrally. You

install it on a server.

■

vSphere Web Client. This enables you to use vCenter remotely and conveniently. You install

it on the vCenter server but can then access it from a browser.

■

Guest virtual machines. These are the virtual computers you will be managing. You create

them on the ESXi host.

Note: VMware software also includes a vSphere Client. This has the same function as the Web

Client, but is installed on the computer from which you want to use vCenter. This Client is due

to be discontinued, so we do not describe it here.

2.2 vShield security software

To set up vShield security, you need:

■

vShield Manager. This is a virtual appliance that you use to manage vShield Endpoint.
