5 (Optional) If you are planning to manage the virtual machines present in the Microsoft System
Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), you must install the Ridgeline XNV agent on the SCVMM
host. The prerequisites for the Ridgeline XNV agent are:
•
Microsoft .Net 4.0 framework
•
Microsoft Windows 2008 System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 (SCVMM 2008 R2)
•
Self-Service portal for Microsoft SCVMM 2008 R2
To download the Ridgeline XNV agent: On the Ridgeline Welcome page, click Get Ridgeline XNV
agent here, and then follow the installation instructions for RidgelineXNVAgentInstaller.exe. The
Ridgeline XNV agent, by default, uses port 10556 in the SCVMM host to communication with the
Ridgeline Server. You are prompted to change this port during the installation of the agent if the
default port 10556 is already in use.
6 After the software is downloaded, you are prompted whether you want to run the program. Click
Run to continue.
7 The Ridgeline Log On screen appears (see the following figure).

Password boxes. Click Log on to connect to the Ridgeline server.
After a successful logon, the Ridgeline 4.0 Home screen appears. For instructions on using Ridgeline,
see the Ridgeline 4.0 Reference Guide, or the online help.
