Install vShield Manager Data Collector
If you integrate a vCenter Chargeback Manager instance with a vCloud Director instance, you must have a
vShield Manager data collector instance installed and running to fetch the network statistics from vShield
Manager.
You can install a vShield Manager data collector instance along with vCenter Chargeback Manager or
separately using the vShield Manager data collector installer. The installer can be downloaded from vCenter
Chargeback Manager by clicking Download vShield Manager Data Collector from the Tools menu on the
top-right corner.
If you install more than one instance of the vShield Manager data collector, ensure that you provide the
same vCenter Chargeback Manager database the when installing each instance. Also, the vCenter
Chargeback Manager database information provided must be same as the one provided when installing the
vCloud Director data collector.
Although you can install more than one vShield Manager data collector instance, only one instance interacts
with the vCenter Chargeback Manager database at any given point of time. Another data collector instance
is used only in the case of a failover.
Prerequisites
Before you start the installation, ensure that the system time of the machine on which the data collector is
being installed is the same as the vCenter Chargeback Manager and vCenter Chargeback Manager database
system time. That is, the system time of all these machines are in sync.
The vShield Manager data collector can run jobs successfully only if an instance of the vCloud Director data
collector is installed and running. You must, therefore, ensure that at least one instance of the vCloud
Director data collector is running.
Procedure
1 Run the vCenter-VSM-DC.exe file.
2 Click Next on the Introduction screen.
3 Accept the end-user license agreement, and click Next.
If the installer detects an individually installed vCloud Director data collector instance, you are
provided with an option to create a new instance or upgrade the existing instance.
4 Select Create New Data Collector, provide a name for the data collector instance, and click Next.
The default name is vShield Manager DataCollector. Ensure that the data collector instance name
contains only ASCII characters and starts with "vShield Manager DataCollector".
5 Provide the path for the installation directory, and click Next.
If the specified installation directory exists, ensure that it is empty. If the specified installation directory
does not exist, the installer creates the directory. The install path must contain at least one folder. You
cannot provide only the drive name. Also, the directory path must contain only ASCII characters.
