To prepare your environment for installing sensors on your deployed VM workloads you register the Carbon Black Cloud Workload Appliance with the vCenter Server and connect the appliance to the Carbon Black Cloud. Carbon Black launcher must be available on the VMs.
Procedure
- Set up your Carbon Black Cloud Workload appliance.
Carbon Black Cloud Workload Appliance must be online and connected to the
Carbon Black Cloud via an API key to receive a sensor. You confirm appliance connectivity in two ways:
- In the Carbon Black Cloud console, check for available VM workloads on the Inventory > VM Workloads > Not Enabled tab.
- In the Carbon Black Cloud console, go to the Settings > API Access > API Keys page and click the appliance name to view connection status.
- Enable Carbon Black Cloud through a lightweight Carbon Black launcher to install a sensor for VM workloads.
- For Windows VMs, Carbon Black launcher is packaged with VMware Tools. You must install or upgrade VMware Tools to version 11.2.0 or later to obtain the launcher.
- For Linux VMs, you must manually install the launcher from VMware Tools Operating System Specific Packages (OSPs). Download and install Carbon Black launcher for your guest operating system from the package repository at http://packages.vmware.com/.
