Deploying the vCloud and vShield Appliance: Module 2
1) Now,that we have our vCenter up and running, and added the Physical ESXi into the Management Cluster. Let's import the vCloud and the vShield Manager virtual Appliance.
Note: On both the cluster's set "DRS" to enabled and in fully automated mode. Figure 1.
Figure 1: DRS enabled on the Cluster and in Fully Automated mode.

7) After the vCloud Appliance is imported, the next step would be to Import the " vCloud Networking and Security Manager"(vShiled Manager). The vCloud Networking and Security Manager provides Network Services to vCloud and the vCenter server.A unique instance needs to be installed for every vCenter Install.
In the vSphere WebClient .Select the Management Cluster => "Actions" => "Deploy OVF Template". Browse to the location of the " VMware-vShield-Manager-5.5.0.ova" file and start the Import process.Figure 8.
