By default, the vCenter Server Heartbeat Packet Filter driver is applied to all Principal (Public) network
cards present on the machine. The vCenter Server Heartbeat Packet Filter is not applied to the network
cards forming VMware Channel connections as these cards maintain unique IP addresses irrespective of
the role of the server. vCenter Server Heartbeat also disables NetBIOS on the Channel NIC(s) to prevent
domain name conflicts on the subnet.

OTE When installing into a Windows Server 2008 environment, vCenter Server Heartbeat verifies that
the Windows Server Backup Feature and Command Line Tools are installed. If they are not installed, you
must install them now. You are not required to exit the installation to install the Windows Server Backup
Feature. Navigate to the Server Manager and under Features, add the Windows Backup Feature and
Command Line Tools. When installing Windows Server Backup Feature, Windows PowerShell is also
necessary.
NOTE If you click Exit after Setup has started, you are prompted to save your settings. When you run the
self extracting WinZip file again later, you will be asked if you want to use the previously saved
configuration.
