How does vmware vshield work

If you are protecting Linux and Solaris this Silent Agent is mandatory. In future releases it is likely that this component will have the option of being installed silently into the guest operating system. The installation of these components allows the system to scan processes running in the memory of the virtual desktops, and allows users to see status of their protection; view scans being performed; and allows them to take actions on detected threats.

The Silent Agent installs as. When launched it opens as console that allows the user to confirm they are protected. EXE which can be downloaded and shortcut created if necessary. We found that Internet Explorer reacted negatively to its download and thought it was itself a suspect. We would recommend downloading it on behalf of the user and incorporating it into your template or parent VM. Of course you will be keen to test if the anti-virus protection is in place. It can be download from the eircar.

In the context of virtual desktops we feel the most efficient way to install or upgrade the Silent Agent is by incorporating it into your templates or ParentVM. Of course that might not address every requirement.

For example if you run dedicated desktops or you want to deploy the agent other systems such as your View Infrastructure servers. For these reason and usage cases you can use the new silent tasks feature in BitDefender SVA to remotely install the agent to the VMs required.

UAC can be disabled via group policy settings. To disable UAC you need to disable four policy settings in total:. Similarly the Credentials option allows you to add and save a user account to carry out the installation:.

Once configured you can Save the task and commit it to the BitDefender Appliance. As you can see vShield is very easy to setup and configure — and by relocating the functions of AV out of the guest operating system it affords for great control over the impact of this process. You need resources to run each of the appliances SVA as well at the two or more management consoles.

We estimate that you would need to get significant density of VMs to ESX host to both offset the license and resource costs when compared to traditional methods of managing AV. Consider also that introducing new method of AV is yet another set of changes on what be already a radical departure from the existing model of delivering desktops.

Finally, you might want to review your current methods for patching and updating ESX hosts. Any VM configured to such a type of vSwitch is not open for vMotion. Do not be tempted to power down the SVA prior to carrying out maintenance mode, as this will leave your VMs in an unprotected state. If the SVA is powered down before the VMs its protecting then technically they are in an unprotected state. So this raises an important dependency issue. Once your AV is dependent on the appliance ensuring this appliance is only powered off in a controlled way is imperative.

Once the configuration has been saved, VMware vShield Manager will now be accessible from a web browser.

Once the server has been added, you may be prompted to verify the authenticity of the host. Click yes to add the vCenter server. Click the Install link to select the services that are to be installed or upgraded.

Once confirmed, vShield Manager will notify you that it is installing the service modules. If desired, you can monitor the progress of the installation in vCenter. Once the installation has completed, vShield Endpoint should now display as being installed on the ESXi host. Once vShield Endpoint has been successfully deployed, a Security Virutal Appliance can be deployed in the environment.
