Following the configuration of a vShield Data Security policy, a scan can be initiated. Once a scan is in progress or has completed, the statistics and reporting can be viewed, utilizing the vShield Data Security reports option within vCenter.
To proceed, we'll require access to vShield App through the vSphere Client plugin. The plugin can be enabled through the Plug-ins menu in vSphere Client. The client can be run on any modern Windows desktop operating system or server operating system.
Note
The vShield vSphere Client plugin requires Adobe Flash, which is not supported on Linux operating systems at this time.
vShield Manager must be installed and the vCenter account used for login should have Enterprise Administrator rights to vShield Manager.
