VMware vCenter AppSpeed Installation Guide

8 VMware, Inc.

System Requirements

ReviewthefollowingsystemrequirementsbeforeyouinstallAppSpeed:

 Youmusthaveadmin‐levelaccesstovCenterServerfortheautomatedinstallationprocess.

 RoutableIPaddressesforserversandprobesneedtobedefined.

 IfHTTPSsitesaretobemonitored,anSSLprivatekeyisrequired.

 AdministratorprivilegesarerequiredontheClientmachinetoinstallAdobeFlashPlayer10.

Inaddition,itisrecommendedthatyousynchronizethetimeonthehostsonwhichtheAppSpeedserverand

probesaretobeinstalled.Ifthetimeisnotsynchronized,AppSpeedmightlosedataandexperiencedelaysin

themappingprocess.YoucansynchronizethetimebysettinganNTPserver

intheConfiguringTimeoption

foreachhostinvCenter.

Deployment Considerations

WhenyouplanyourAppSpeeddeployment,takeintoconsiderationthefollowingsystemresource

requirements:

 Server

 30GBHDD

 2vCPUs

 4GBRAM

 Probes

 5GBHDD

 1vCPU

 0.5GBRAM

Open Port Requirements

AppSpeedrequiresthatthefollowingportsbeopenonyourfirewall:

 AppSpeedservertovCenterServer:

 TCPport443toconnecttovCenterServerforthevCenterinterface.Port443isthevCenterdefault

Webserviceport,butyoucanconfigureadifferentTCPportinvCenter.

 TCPport80toconnecttovCenterServerforthevCenterproxyinterface.Thisportisusedonly

duringsetuptoverifythatthevCenterproxyisconfiguredcorrectly.Port80isthevCenterdefault

Webserviceport,butyoucanconfigureadifferentTCPportinvCenter.

 vCenterServertotheAppSpeedserver:

 TCPport80toconnecttotheAppSpeedserver(Webinterface).

 AppSpeedserverandprobecommunication:

 TCPport1194toconnecttotheAppSpeedserver(OpenVPNoveraTCPconnection)

 UDPport123toconnecttotheAppSpeedserver(NTP)

 TCPport22toconnecttotheprobesifyouwanttoaccesstheprobesfromoutsidetheVPN

 vSphere/VIClienttovCenterServer:

 TCPport80toconnecttovCenterserver(vCenterproxyinterface).Port80isthevCenterdefaultWeb
