Before you configure endpoint protection for guest VMs, ensure that the prerequisites are met.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure all hosts are managed by NSX Manager(s).
  • Prepare and configure NSX cluster as transport nodes by applying transport node profiles. After the cluster is prepared for NSX, guest introspection components are installed. See NSX Installation Guide.

  • Partner console is installed and configured to register services with NSX.
  • Ensure that the guest VMs run VM Hardware Configuration file version 9 or higher.
