integrated vSphere Web Client.The Heartbeat tab of the vSphere Web Client provides the status of vCenter
Server Heartbeat and provides administrators the ability to perform basic vCenter Server Heartbeat management
functions such as perform a failover or stop and start replication.
Note Use of vCenter Server Heartbeat Plug-in for vSphere Web Client requires that Adobe Flash Player 11.4
or later is installed. If Adobe Flash Player 11.4 or later is not installed prior to installation of vCenter Server
Heartbeat, selecting the Heartbeat tab in vSphere Web Client for the first time will provide an opportunity to
download Adobe Flash Player 11.4 from the internet and install it.
