Installing the NSX Manager 3

The NSX Manager is the centralized management component of NSX, and runs as a virtual appliance on an

ESX host.

VMware recommends that you install NSX Manager on a dedicated management cluster separate from the

cluster(s) that NSX Manager manages. Each NSX Manager manages a single vCenter Server environment.

The NSX Manager requires connectivity to the vCenter Server, ESXi host, and NSX Edge instances, vShield

Endpoint module, and NSX Data Security virtual machine. NSX components can communicate over routed

connections as well as different LANs.

The NSX Manager should be run on an ESX host that is not affected by downtime, such as frequent reboots

or maintenance mode operations. You can use HA or DRS to increase the resilience of the NSX Manager. If

the ESX host on which the NSX Manager resides is expected to require downtime, vMotion the NSX

Manager virtual appliance to another ESX host. Thus, more than one ESX host is recommended.

Ensure that the following ports are open:

Port 443/TCP from, to, and among the ESX host, the vCenter Server, and NSX Data Security

443/TCP from the REST client to NSX Manager for using REST API calls

80/TCP and 443/TCP for using the NSX Manager user interface and initiating connection to the vSphere

SDK

This chapter includes the following topics:

“Obtain the NSX Manager OVA File,” on page 15

“Install the NSX Manager Virtual Appliance,” on page 15

“Log In to the NSX Manager Virtual Appliance,” on page 17

“Register vCenter Server with NSX Manager,” on page 17

“Schedule a Backup of NSX Manager Data,” on page 18

Obtain the NSX Manager OVA File

The NSX Manager virtual machine is packaged as an Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) file, which

allows you to use the vSphere Web Client to import the NSX Manager into the datastore and virtual

machine inventory.

Install the NSX Manager Virtual Appliance

You can install the NSX Manager virtual machine on an ESX host in a cluster configured with DRS.

You can install the NSX Manager in a different vCenter than the one that the NSX Manager will be

interoperating with. A single NSX Manager serves a single vCenter Server environment.
