VMware vCenter AppSpeed

Installation 1

You install AppSpeed on a VMware host machine that resides within the datacenter network and integrates

with the VMware vSphere Client. You install one or more AppSpeed probes on each host to be monitored.

This chapter includes the following topics:

“Installation Prerequisites,” on page 7

“Installation Workflow,” on page 9

Installation Prerequisites

Before installing AppSpeed, review the system and deployment requirements.

A variety of VMware ESX™ versions support AppSpeed.

Server: ESX 3.5.x or 4.0.x Probes: ESX 3.0x, 3.5.x, or 4.0.x

vSphere 4.x

System Requirements

Before you install AppSpeed, make sure that you have the necessary administrator privileges and system

requirements.

Review these system requirements before you install AppSpeed.

You must have admin-level access to vCenter Server for the automated installation process.

You must define routable IP addresses for servers and probes.

VMware recommends that you do not use DHCP because the IP address of AppSpeed Server might change

after setup is complete. However, if you do use DHCP, you do not need routable IP addresses.

If HTTPS sites are to be monitored, you require the SSL private keys.

You must have Administrator privileges on the client machine to install Adobe Flash Player 10.

Adobe Flash Player 10 must be installed as an ActiveX Control; therefore, it must be downloaded using

Internet Explorer.

VMware recommends that you synchronize the time on the hosts on which AppSpeed Server and the

AppSpeed probes will be installed. If the time is not synchronized, AppSpeed might lose data and

experience delays in the mapping process. To synchronize the time, set an NTP server in the Configuring

Time option for each ESX host in vCenter.
