Installing the SolutionPack

  • Determine whether you need a SolutionPack license file by checking the feature names and expiration dates listed in
    Centralized Management
    License Management
    . If the license is not listed, obtain one by completing a Support Request (SR) form, which you can find on the Online Support website at https://my.vmware.com/.
  • Make sure the core modules, such as the Module-Manager, are up-to-date on all servers since not all module dependencies are validated during the
    SolutionPack
    installation. See the
    M&R (Watch4net) Installation and Configuration Guide
    provides for more information.
