Installing Agent for VMware (Windows)

Preparation

Follow the preparatory steps described in the "Adding a machine running Windows" section.

Installation

  1. Click All devices > Add.
  2. Click VMware ESXi.
  3. Select Remotely install on a machine running Windows.
  4. Select the deployment agent.
  5. Specify the host name or IP address of the target machine, and the credentials of an account with administrative privileges on that machine.

  1. Select the name or the IP address of the management server that the agent will use to access that server.

    By default, the server name is selected. You may need to select the IP address instead if your management server has more than one network interface or if you are facing DNS issues that cause the agent registration to fail.

  1. Click Connect.
  2. Specify the address and credentials for the vCenter Server or stand-alone ESXi host, and then click Connect. We recommend using an account that has the Administrator role assigned. Otherwise, provide an account with the necessary privileges on the vCenter Server or ESXi.
  3. Click Install to install the agent.
