Configuring the Management Extender
Before you can begin working with the different Virtualization features, you must configure a relay server or a root server to communicate with a specific VMware vCenter or ESX host.
An Administrator role is required for you to configure the management extender.
- Install the BigFix relay Version 9.2 or 9.5.
- Deploy Fixlet 801: Deploy Management Extender for VMware vCenter from the Patches for ESXi site. This action appears as applicable when the BigFix relay is installed.
- Activate analysis 905: Management Extender Status.
