ESET Virtualization Security represents agentless anti-malware scanning of virtual machines in virtualized environments using VMware infrastructure. ESET Virtualization Security is natively compatible with ESET Remote Administrator 6 using web-console. This allows you to drill down directly to virtual machines for fast tasks executions and complete overview.
The figure below depicts a principle of how the ESET Virtualization Security works.

Additional support information
 
When deploying the solution it is possible to deal with the following issues:
 
Cannot register to vShield
  • check if network allows communication via port 443 with vShield Manager
  • restart vShield Manager VM
  • reinstall vShield Endpoint module on ESXi (via VShield Manager Web UI)

ESET Virtualization Security shows zero number of connected/protected VMs

  • make sure Guest VMs are running and have installed VMware tools with Endpoint module
  • make sure network allows communication via port 48651 to/from EVS
  • recheck vShield registration or re-register with vShield (enter management mode - vShield registration)
