Chapter 8 Consolidating the Datacenter n Windows Server 2003 Standard/Web/Enterprise (32 bit and 64 bit) n Windows Vista (32 bit and 64 bit) n Windows Server 2008 (32 and 64 bit) n Credentials with Log on as service privileges on the system where the Guided Consolidation server is installed must be provided at the time of installation. If Active Directory is deployed on your network, the provided credentials must also have sufficient privileges to query the Active Directory database. n File and Printer Sharing must be enabled on the system where Guided Consolidation is installed and enabled on all systems targeted for analysis. Windows XP Simple File Sharing is insufficient. n Guided Consolidation extension must be installed, enabled, and running on the vSphere Client. n At least one datacenter inventory object exists. See "Add an Inventory Object," on page 73. n At least one host is registered with vCenter Server. See "Add a Host," on page 78. n Guided Consolidation requires administrator access to the systems selected for analysis. Specifically, the vCenter Collector Service uses these credentials to connect to and retrieve configuration and performance data from the physical systems under analysis. Accounts must be fully-qualified and can be any of the following: n account of the target system. n account of the target system domain. n account of a trusted domain of the target system. Network Connections The Guided Consolidation server must have access to the ports listed in the Table 8-1. Table 8-1. Network Connections Port Protocol Service Description MS Windows 135 TCP/UDP Loc-srv/epmap Microsoft DCE DHCP Server Locator service, also known as End-point Mapper. DNS Server WINS Server 137 TCP/UDP Netbios-ns NetBIOS names WINS Server service. DNS Server Firewall administrators frequently see larger numbers of incoming packets to port 137. This is because of Windows servers that use NetBIOS (as well as DNS) to resolve IP addresses to names using the gethostbyaddr() function. As users behind the firewalls visit Windows-based Web sites, those servers frequently respond with NetBIOS lookups. VMware, Inc. 89
