Validate the VMware Environment
Before you deploy the vSMS, ensure your VMware environment is based on vSphere and meets the system
requirements described in ”VMware vSphere Environment” and ”Minimum System Requirements” on
page 1.
NOTE: You cannot adjust physical resource settings during initial deployment of the vSMS. To adjust the
settings, first deploy the vSMS, and then use the vSphere Client to modify the physical resource settings.
Note that once disk size is increased it cannot be decreased.
Obtain the vSMS Software from the TMC
The vSMS is distributed to customers through the TMC. Download the software from the TMC and store it
in a location accessible to the VMware management application vCenter. Perform the following steps to
obtain the software:
1. In a Web browser, open https://tmc.tippingpoint.com
, and log in to the TMC.
2. Select Releases, and then select Software > SMS > Virtual SMS (vSMS).
3. On the vSMS Software Packages page, select the appropriate vSMS software entry.
4. Note the MD5 checksum displayed in the “Message” area of the Software Details page. You will
compare it against the checksum you generate after you download the file to your local system.
5. Click Download.
6. Accept the End User License Agreement, and save the file to a storage location that is accessible to
the VMware vCenter where you want to deploy the vSMS.
7. Generate an MD5 checksum against your local copy of the .zip file, and then compare it against the
MD5 checksum shown on the TMC.
