The SQL Server must use Mixed Mode authentication (cannot use Windows
Authentication, must be a SQL account) We’ll go over configuring this in the guide.

Deploy VMware vCloud Networking and Security 5.5.x
VMware vCloud Networking and Security 5.5 (formerlly called vShield). Unlike other VMware
products, this product must be installed as an appliance. VMware provides you an OVA file that contains the entire virtual appliance, so minimal configuration is needed. Here is a good overview of
the product and how it works: http://vmwarelearning.com/vcloud_net_sec/
Before beginning, here are the following hardware prerequisites. These prerequisites can be found from the official VMware deployment guide: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vshield_51_quickstart.pdf
Memory
vShield Manager: 8GB allocated, 3GB reserved vShield App: 1GB allocated, 1 GB reserved
vShield Edge compact: 256 MB, large: 1 GB, x-large: 8 GB vShield Data Security: 512 MB Disk Space
vShield Manager: 60 GB vShield App: 5 GB per vShield App per ESX host vShield Edge compact and large: 320 MB, lx-Large: 4.4 GB (with 4 GB swap file)

Generate SSL certificates
We will need to generate some SSL certificates before running the vCloud Director installation. Please
follow the steps below to create a java keystore that vCloud director will use for SSL. Below are two
different methods of generating certificates. Use the first if you don’t want to sign your certificates, use
the second if you want to sign your certificate with an internal or external certificate authority. Note:
Usually I create seperatekeystores with for each service, in this case, VMware wants both certificates in
the same keystore. Additionally, make sure you change the default password in the commands below to
something stronger (other VMware products want you to use a generic password, this one you can
change as it will be prompted during the install process).
Creating Self-Signed Certificates
VEPSUN Education Services, S R Arcade, 6th Cross, Tulasi Theater Road, Marathahalli, Bangalore. Email- [email protected] www.vepsun.in
keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -storetype JCEKS -alias http -keystorecertificates.ks -storepasspasswd -
validity 360 -keysize 2048
keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -storetype JCEKS -alias consoleproxy -keystore certificates.ks -
storepass passwd -validity 360 -keysize 2048
–Verify both certificates are in the same keystore–
VEPSUN Education Services, S R Arcade, 6th Cross, Tulasi Theater Road, Marathahalli, Bangalore. Email- [email protected] www.vepsun.in
keytool -list -keystorecertificates.ks -storetype JCEKS -storepass “passwd”
Creating Signed Certificate Requests (use this if you have an internal PKI, skip this step if you used self-
signed certs above)
–Create the certificate requests–
HTTP Web Cert Request
keytool –certreq -keystorecertificates.ks -storetype JCEKS -storepass passwd -alias http -

DRS cannot move the VMs around to achieve High Availablity.
