About This Book
VMware vCenter™ AppSpeed provides performance management and service-level reporting for services
running within virtual appliances. This book describes the procedures for installing the VMware vCenter
AppSpeed virtual appliance, including how to configure AppSpeed Server and deploy the AppSpeed probes
on the VMware® host machines within the datacenter network.
AppSpeed analyzes the traffic that flows between users, Web applications, and back-end servers. This analysis
provides visibility into multitier services and enables you to identify performance problems that originate from
inadequate resource allocation and service problems.
Intended Audience
This guide is intended for anyone who wants to install the AppSpeed virtual appliance on a VMware
vSphere™ Server.
The information is written for experienced Windows or Linux system administrators who are familiar with
virtual appliance technology and datacenter operations.

VMware vCenter AppSpeed Installation and Upgrade Guide
6 VMware, Inc.
VMware vCenter AppSpeed
Installation 1
You install AppSpeed on a VMware host machine that resides within the datacenter network and integrates
with the VMware vSphere Client. You install one or more AppSpeed probes on each host to be monitored.
This chapter includes the following topics:
n“Installation Prerequisites,” on page 7
n“Installation Workflow,” on page 9
Installation Prerequisites
Before installing AppSpeed, review the system and deployment requirements.
A variety of VMware ESX™ versions support AppSpeed.
nServer: ESX 3.5.x or 4.0.x Probes: ESX 3.0x, 3.5.x, or 4.0.x
nvSphere 4.x
System Requirements
Before you install AppSpeed, make sure that you have the necessary administrator privileges and system
requirements.
Review these system requirements before you install AppSpeed.
nYou must have admin-level access to vCenter Server for the automated installation process.
nYou must define routable IP addresses for servers and probes.
VMware recommends that you do not use DHCP because the IP address of AppSpeed Server might change
after setup is complete. However, if you do use DHCP, you do not need routable IP addresses.
nIf HTTPS sites are to be monitored, you require the SSL private keys.
nYou must have Administrator privileges on the client machine to install Adobe Flash Player 10.
nAdobe Flash Player 10 must be installed as an ActiveX Control; therefore, it must be downloaded using
Internet Explorer.
nVMware recommends that you synchronize the time on the hosts on which AppSpeed Server and the
AppSpeed probes will be installed. If the time is not synchronized, AppSpeed might lose data and
experience delays in the mapping process. To synchronize the time, set an NTP server in the Configuring
Time option for each ESX host in vCenter.
VMware, Inc. 7
Deployment Considerations
Your must have sufficient system resources to deploy AppSpeed.
When planning your AppSpeed deployment, make sure that you have these system resource requirements.
nServer
n40GB hard disk drive
n4GB RAM
n2 vCPUs
Virtual CPUs are created as part of the AppSpeed deployment. In addition, AppSpeed reserves
3000MHz.
nProbes
n5GB hard disk drive
n0.5GB RAM
n2 vCPUs
Virtual CPUs are created as part of the AppSpeed deployment. Two vCPUs require no more than the
equivalent resources of a single physical CPU.
Port Requirements
AppSpeed requires that specific ports be open on your firewall.
Table 1-1. Open Port Requirements
Server Connection Required Open Ports
AppSpeed Server to vCenter Server
TCP port 443 Connects to vCenter Server for the vCenter interface.
Port 443 is the vCenter default Web service port, but you can configure a
different TCP port in vCenter.
TCP port 80 Connects to vCenter Server for the vCenter proxy interface.
This port is used only during setup to verify that the vCenter proxy is
configured correctly.
Port 80 is the vCenter default proxy service port, but you can configure a
different TCP port in vCenter.
vCenter Client to AppSpeed Server
TCP ports 80 and 443 Connects to AppSpeed Server (Web interface). You can configure a
different TCP port during AppSpeed setup.
AppSpeed Server and probe communication
TCP port 1194 Connects to AppSpeed Server (OpenVPN over a TCP connection).
UDP port 123 Connects to AppSpeed Server (NTP).
TCP port 22 Connects to the probes if you want to access the probes from outside the
VPN.
vSphere to vCenter Server
TCP port 80 Connects to vCenter Server (vCenter proxy interface).
Port 80 is the vCenter default proxy service port, but you can configure a
different TCP port in vCenter.

Installation Workflow
AppSpeed is a virtual appliance in Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) format. The AppSpeed plug-in is
installed in the vSphere Client.
You perform the installation and setup process in various stages.
1 Import the OVA file and configure AppSpeed Server (see Chapter 2, “Installing and Configuring
AppSpeed Server,” on page 11).
2 Add a valid AppSpeed license key (see “Add a License,” on page 13).
3 Install the AppSpeed probes (see Chapter 3, “Deploying AppSpeed Probes,” on page 15).
4 Verify the successful deployment of the probes (see “Verifying Probe Installation,” on page 17).
