Implementation Guide

The vShield Endpoint driver is a subcomponent of the VMware Tools software

package that is installed on the virtual desktop master image. The driver is installed

using one of two methods:

 Select Complete during VMware Tools installation.

 Select Custom during VMware Tools installation. From the VMware Device

Drivers list box, select VMCI Driver, and then select vShield Driver.

To install the vShield Endpoint driver on a virtual machine that already has VMware

Tools installed, initiate the VMware Tools installation and select the appropriate

option.

The vShield Manager appliance is provided by VMware as an OVA file that is imported

through the vShield client using File – Deploy OVF template. The vShield Manager

appliance is preconfigured with all required components.

The vShield Endpoint service must be installed on all vSphere virtual desktop hosts.

The service is installed on the vSphere hosts by the vShield Manager appliance. The

vShield Manager web console is used to initiate the vShield Endpoint service

installation and to verify that the installation is successful.

The antivirus solution management server is used to manage the antivirus solution

and is provided by vShield Endpoint partners. The management server and

associated components are a required component of the vShield Endpoint platform.

The vSphere security virtual machines are provided by the vShield Endpoint partners

and are installed on each vSphere virtual desktop host. The security virtual machines

perform security related operations for all virtual desktops that reside on their

vSphere host. The security virtual machines and associated components are required

components of the vShield Endpoint platform.

After all required components of the vShield Endpoint platform have been installed

and configured, verify the functionality of the platform before deploying the virtual

desktops.

Using the documentation provided by the vShield Endpoint partner, verify the

functionality of the vShield Endpoint platform with the virtual desktop master image.
