Installing and Configuring vShield Manager
Each Cloud Director cluster requires access to a vShield Manager host, which provides network services to the
Cloud. Install and configure vShield Manager before you begin installing Cloud Director.
You must have a unique instance of vShield Manager for each vCenter Server you add to Cloud Director. For

procedure for each host that you intend to use in your Cloud Director cluster.
