7.1 Check that you have the passwords you need
When you run the security VM installer, you need to enter certain passwords. You should make
sure that you have the passwords for the following accounts:
■
The vCenter Administrator account.
■
The vCenter read-only user account, used to query information from vCenter during security
VM operation.
■
The vShield Administrator account.
■
The account used to access the Sophos Anti-Virus network share (or "Sophos Update folder").
Note: The vCenter user account is stored on the security VMs. Therefore we recommend that the
account is read-only.
7.2 Check that systems are synchronized
You must ensure that the time is synchronized on the Enterprise Console server and on each ESXi
host where you install the security VM.
You can use NTP (Network Time Protocol) synchronization for each vCenter server or each host.
Warning: If the time is not synchronized, you can install security VMs but you cannot manage
them from Enterprise Console.
7.3 Download the installer
The following steps assume that you have a MySophos account and that you have associated your
license credentials with it. If you need help, go to
