Deep Security 9 Part 1: Installing the vShield Manager and Endpoint
Installing Deep Security is not that hard. In this post I’ll walk you through the first step of getting Deep Security up and running in your virtual environment. The installation of vShield Manager.
In order to get Trend Micro Deep Security running a couple of prerequisites need to be in place. The prerequisites that need to be in place are:
-
The vShield Manager
-
The vShield Endpoint (installed on every host)
-
A Database (SQL or Oracle)
Let’s start with installing the vShield Manager. In order to this you’ll have to download the vShield Manager here. After the download is done, open vCenter and go to File –> Deploy OVF Template (Press picture for larger image)
In the Source window Click Browse
Browse to the vShield Manager OVA file and Open it
Click Next in the Source window
In the OVF Template Details click Next
