In part 1 we installed the VMware vShield part which is needed to get Trend Micro Deep Security up and running. In part 2 we created a database instance that will be used by the Deep Security Manager (DSM). In this part we’ll focus on the installation of the DSM itself. The DSM is the management interface used to manage and monitor the Deep Security environment. You will use this to deploy Deep Security Virtual Appliance (DSVA) instances as well as creating scan profiles, monitor the Deep Security infrastructure and more.
Let’s install the DSM now, first we’ll need to make sure we’ll have the right software (can be downloaded here):
After you’ve downloaded and extracted the Deep Security Manager files, doubleclick on the manager execution file
The Setup will start and in the Welcome screen Click Next
In the License Agreement screen select I accept.. and then click Next
In the Select Destination Directory screen Browse to the destination folder and Click Next
In the database screen select and setup the right Database setup (as created in part 2) and click Next
In the License screen provide your License activation code and press Next
In the Adress and Ports screen provide the FQDN of the DSM and click Next
In the credentials screen Provide a Username (MasterAdmin is standard) and a password and click Next
In the security update window leave the defaults and click Next
In the Co-located Relay screen select Yes and include AntiMalware and click Next
In the Smart Protection Network screen Enable Trend Micro Smart Feedback and click Next
In the confirm Settings click finish to install the DSM
After the installation is finished open a browser and browse to the FQDN (httpS://yourdsm.xxx:4119) of the DSM in the logon screen provide the username and password to log in to the DSM
After Login the DSM interface will look like this
In Part 4 we’ll install a Deep Security Virtual Appliance (DSVA). See you there 😉 And if you have any question please let me know.

Yesterday in the first part of this blog series on installing Trend Micro Deep Security 9 we installed the VMware vShield Manager as well as the vShield Endpoint on the hosts in our environment. The last prerequisite is the setup of the database for the DSM. This Database can be an Microsoft SQL or Oracle Database. While installing the Deep Security Manager you’ll have the option to install a build in that will only be able to support about 10 VM’s…..
The Database will grow fast, and an Microsoft SQL Express Database which has a limit of 4GB will be suitable for about 50 VM’s. Take that in mind when you’re doing a Proof of concept an thinking about using this kind of database.
With all that being said, let’s setup a database for the Deep Security Manager (I’ll use SQL2012 in this case):
Open the Microsoft SQL server management Studio:
In the Connect to Server windows choose your authentication method and press Connect:
Right Click on Databases and select New Database:
Provide a name for the database, select a database owner and press OK (leave the rest default):
If everything went well the database will be created and show in the Databases tab:
This step is the last one needed to begin the install of the Trend Micro Deep Security Manager. See you next time, and again when ever you have questions please feel free to contact me 😉

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:
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
In the End User License Agreement click Accept and click Next
In the Name and Location window Provide a vSM name and click Next
In the Host / Cluster window select the Cluster you want the vSM to be in and click Next
In the Specify a Specific Host select a host and click Next
In the Storage window choose the datastore you want to use and click Next
In the Disk Format window choose the format you want to use and click Next
In the Ready to Complete window Select Power on after Deployment and Press Finish
The deployment of the OVF will start and after this is complete open the vSM Console window
To log in to vSM use the Default username: admin and password: default
- Provide a IP Address
- Subnet Mask
- Default gateway
- Primary (and secondary) DNS
Open a webbrowser and surf to the IP address you just provided for the vSM
Log in with the admin account (user: admin pw: default)
Edit the vCenter Server settings so the vSM is able to communicate with the vSphere environment
The installation of the vSM is now done. To install vShield Endpoint on the hosts perforn these steps
In vSM browse to the host you want vShield Enpoint to be installed on and click Install
In the next we’ll install the Trend Micro Deep Security Manager. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
