Installing CITV

CITV is a virtual appliance that allows Dell Storage applications to be integrated with VMware vSphere environments.

Introduction to CITV

CITV allows integration of the Replay Manager Service for VMware and vSphere Web Client Plugin with VMware vSphere.

• Dell Replay Manager Service for VMware (RMSV) enables consistent Replays of VMware virtual machines and datastores. To congure

Dell Replay Manager Service for VMware, see Conguring RMSV.
