Install vShield Endpoint
Installing vShield Endpoint installs a new vib and a service virtual machine on each host in the cluster.
vShield Endpoint is required for NSX Data Security, Activity Monitoring, and several third party security
solutions.
Prerequisites
The installation instructions that follow assume that you have the following system:
n
A datacenter with supported versions of vCenter Server and ESXi installed on each host in the cluster.
For information on the required versions, see “System Requirements for NSX,” on page 13.
n
Network virtualization components must have been installed on the hosts in the cluster where you
want to install vShield Endpoint. vShield Endpoint cannot be installed on stand alone hosts.
n
NSX Manager 6.0 installed and running.
If you want to assign an IP address to the NSX Endpoint service virtual machine from an IP pool, create the
IP pool before installing NSX Endpoint. See “Create an IP Pool,” on page 39.

10 On the Configure management network page, select the distributed virtual port group to host the
management interface. If the datastore is set to Specified on host, the network must also be Specified
on host.
The selected port group must be able to reach the NSX Manager’s port group and must be available on
all hosts in the selected cluster.
If you selected Specified on host, follow the steps in Step 8 to select a network on the host. When you
add a host(s) to the cluster, the datastore and network must be set before it is added to the cluster.
