Register Third-Party Guest Introspection Service with NSX-T Data Center

If Security Policies in your NSX Data Center for vSphere environment use third-party Guest Introspection service provided by a partner, register the partner service with NSX-T Data Center before you start the migration.

You might need to upgrade the Partner Console to register the service with the version of NSX-T Data Center that is used for this migration. For more information, see the partner documentation.

Complete the following procedure to register a partner service for endpoint protection with the NSX Manager in your NSX-T Data Center environment.

For detailed instructions, see Deploy NSX-T Data Center NSX Manager Appliance.
