Yes, I RTFM.
1) In several places it refers to installing or deploying the OVF "On the vCenter Server"
Is this just a misnomer?
The only thing "installed on the vCenter Server" would be the plug-in, correct?
2) Ports: It identified the network ports that need to be open, and one section is titled "Infrastructure Navigator to target hosts and virtual machines"
Does the VIN server need to talk to the guests through their vNICs, aka, across a number of networks, multiple firewall holes?
Or can VIN collect its information straight from the hosts - the network that vmkernel is on?
3) Linked Mode Environment - If I have two vCenters, do I need two VINs?
That sections seems to say "Maybe you do, Maybe you don't, depending on what you see when you enter the license"
Not very clear.
4) VMTools - We have a fair number of guests with tools not updated since the VI3 days. Will that be a problem?
5) During initial discovery, what kind of load is on the vCenter server? Is it better to Discover off-hours?
6) We have SRM. What does "SRM Integration" do for us?
.... and you can turn it on and off? What would be the purpose?
Thanks!
