VMware VShield DSM Integration Process

You can integrate VMware vShield DSM with JSA.

Use the following procedures:

  1. If automatic updates are not enabled, download and install the most recent version of the VMware vShield RPM from the Juniper Downloads onto your JSA Console.

  2. For each instance of VMware vShield, configure your VMware vShield system to enable communication with JSA. This procedure must be completed for each instance of VMware vShield.

  3. If JSA does not automatically discover the log source, for each VMware vShield server that you want to integrate, create a log source on the JSA console.
