Chapter 2: Installing SolarWinds Virtualization Manager

For information about installing NPM, see the SolarWinds Network Performance

Monitor Administrator Guide. For information about installing SAM, see the

SolarWinds Server and Application Manager Administrator Guide.

Note: If you do not have NPM or SAM installed, you can integrate IVIM with your

Virtualization Manager instance. For information about installing and integrating

IVIM with Virtualization Manager, see Installing the SolarWinds Integrated Virtual

Infrastructure Monitor in standalone mode.

To integrate Virtualization Manager with a compatible SolarWinds product:

1. On the server where your compatible SolarWinds product is installed,

launch the SolarWinds IVIM installer.

a. Type YES to indicate that you are aware of the recommendation to

back up your existing Orion product database before installing the

Virtualization Manager integration.

b. Click to accept the License Agreement.

c. Allow the installer to copy files, and then click through the remaining

prompts. The configuration wizard starts after the installation is

finished.

d. Adjust the database and database server as the targets for adding

modules if they are not your current Orion product database and

database server.

e. Accept the default (All Unassigned Ports) as the target for adding

website modules.

f. Accept the Service Settings (VIM Collector Plugin, VIM Job Engine

Plugin).

g. Choose to launch the Orion Web Console, and then log in.

2. Navigate to Settings > Discovery Central if logging into the console does

not automatically land you there.
