vSMS Getting Started 1

1Overview

The Virtual Security Management System (vSMS) is a software-based SMS appliance that operates within

a VMware virtual environment. You must have a supported VMware environment installed and configured

before you install the vSMS.

With very few exceptions, the vSMS provides the same functionality, the same user interfaces, and

operates the same as a physical SMS appliance. Before you install the vSMS, see the latest HP

TippingPoint SMS Release Notes available at http://www.hp.com/support/manuals

. After you install the

vSMS, use the SMS documentation to operate and administer the vSMS.

This section has the following topics:

• vSMS System Requirements, page 1

• Migration, page 2

• Installation Summary, page 2

vSMS System Requirements

The vSMS uses a VMware Open Virtualization Format (OVF) file to operate. OVF is a packaging and

distribution format for virtual machines. You must use the VMware vCenter Server to deploy the .ovf file.

VMware vSphere Environment

To install and use the vSMS, you must have the following VMware vSphere environment set up.

NOTE: Use the vCenter Server to deploy the .ovf file; deploying the file directly through ESX/ESXi utilities

is not supported.

Minimum System Requirements

The vSMS must meet the following minimum system requirements:

• 300 GB virtual disk size for new installation, 73 GB virtual disk size for migration from a previous

version

•2 virtual CPUs

• 6 GB memory

• 2 virtual network adapters

Do Not Change the vSMS vNIC Settings

The virtual network interface controller (vNIC) settings configured during deployment of the vSMS are

required for the vSMS to operate successfully. For best results, do not change the vNIC settings.
