Configuring vCenter Settings for the Virtual Sensor
To ensure the Virtual Sensor is performing optimally, configure the following
vCenter settings for your Virtual Sensor:
1. In vCenter, power off the Virtual Sensor virtual machine.
2. Right-click the virtual machine and select Edit Settings.
3. On the Virtual Hardware tab, expand CPU and allocate the CPU capacity according
to the size of the OVA:
l Medium OVA 4,594 MHz
l Small OVA 2,297 MHz
The CPU capacity required (Reservation of CPU capacity) is calculated as
the number of vCPUs (Small = 1, Medium = 2) * CPU speed of ESXi (2,297
MHz).
4. Click OK.
5. Right-click the virtual machine and select Compatibility > Upgrade VM Compatibility.
The virtual machine is upgraded to the latest supported version.
NOTE: If the Virtual Sensor is already running the latest supported version, the Upgrade VM
Compatibility option is not available.
