Installing VMware Skyline Health Diagnostics involves deploying an appliance using an OVA. During the deployment, you need to provide the IP address or FQDN, network settings, passwords for the VMware Photon operating system root and shd-admin user. shd-admin is the VMware Skyline Health Diagnostics administrator and web interface user.
Before installing the VMware Skyline Health Diagnostics, you must download the VMware Skyline Health Diagnostics appliance OVA from the VMware Customer Connect site.
The naming pattern for the appliance image OVA is VMware-Skyline-HealthDiagnostics-Appliance-<product_version>-<build_number>_OVF10.ova where product_version and build_number are the current available version and build number of the VMware Skyline Health Diagnostics.
The appliance is pre-configured with required software and settings to run the VMware Skyline Health Diagnostics. The VMware Skyline Health Diagnostics can be deployed in a single step through the vSphere Web Client connected to the VMware vCenter Server.
