Installing The MD vCenter Plug-In
NOTE: The MD vCenter Plug-in must be installed on the application server. If you downloaded the installer package
to a different location, copy the installer files to the application server before performing the steps shown here.
1.
From the application server launch the MD vCenter Plug-in installer, choose your language and click OK.
2.
Review the copyright and introduction screens. To accept, click Next.
3.
Read and accept the license agreement, then click Next.
4.
Select an installation directory on the vCenter client or accept the default location. Then, click Next.
5.
Review the installation summary and click Install.
6.
When prompted, either change the port number of the Jetty server or accept the defaults (8084 and 8081) and
click Next.
NOTE: If the MD vCenter Plug-in will be installed on the same system as an active vCenter Server with
VMware Update Manager installed, port number 8084 must be changed to an unused port number.
7.
Change the IP address of the application server, if desired. The default IP address shown the installer will be the IP
address of the system it is running on. Click Next.

Enter the IP address of the host containing the vCenter Server installation (see table Storage Array and Network
Information). Then, click Next.
9.
If you want to enable e-mail alerts, enter the vCenter Server administrator e-mail address and click Next.
NOTE: The MD vCenter Plug-in does not require a domain or domain controller configuration. When installing
the Plug-in, do not qualify your administrator user name with an alias (for example, localhost). If you specify a
fully qualified pathname, use the host name instead (for example, hostname/username).
10. Enter the vCenter Server administrator user ID, then click Next.
11. Enter the vCenter Server administrator password, then click Next.
12. When the installation completes, click Done to close the installation wizard.
The installation automatically installs a Jetty application server and associated .jar files on your application server
and registers the MD vCenter Plug-in with the vCenter Server.
