Installation Guide
Requirements and Compatibility
The following are the requirements to successfully integrate the Cartridge for VMware
into vFoglight.
vFoglight
The vFoglight Management Server version 5.2.4 is required.
Before installing the cartridge, ensure that your vFoglight Management Server is
properly installed and configured. For information on how to install and configure the
vFoglight Management Server, please refer to the vFoglight Installation and Setup
Guide and the vFoglight Administration and Configuration Guide.
vFoglight 5.2.4 licenses include the use of the VMware Cartridge. Therefore, all of the
required cartridge components are already located on the vFoglight Management
Server.
VirtualCenter Server
VirtualCenter (VCMS) 2.0.x or 2.5.x, for use with ESX Server(s), must be installed to
successfully integrate the Cartridge for VMware. The Cartridge for VMware is not
compatible with the VirtualCenter for VMware Server.
Agent Components
The machine on which you install the agent components must be running Windows XP
or Windows 2003 and must have the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed. The
.NET Framework is available through Windows Updates or through Microsoft.com.
Note The agent components can be run on the VirtualCenter Server machine with minimal
overhead.
