Install VMware Tools on the Guest Virtual Machines
VMware Tools include the vShield Thin Agent that must be installed on each guest virtual machine to be
protected. Virtual machines with VMware Tools installed are automatically protected whenever they are
started up on an ESX host that has the security solution installed. That is, protected virtual machines retain
the security protection through shut downs and restarts, and even after a vMotion move to another ESX host
with the security solution installed.
Prerequisites
