Hello:
We are running Endpoint Protection Manager 12.1.6 and recently looked at using the SVA appliances to integrate with VMware vShield. In looking at this closer, it looks like all that the SVA appliances do is allow the SEP agents on each VM to use the Shared Insight Cache. The benefit I can see is that it uses vShield rather than the network for this communication. However, I would like to verify that this is correct, is there any agentless option for Endpoint Protection 12.1.6+ with vShield? I see talk of it but there doesn't seem to be a clear answer.
The second question is, we have followed the instructions to deploy the SVA per ESXi host, installed the VMCI drivers in our VMs, and we are running NSX Manager 6.2. In the NSX Manager logs, I see errors that say "Failed to receive status from Guest Introspection solution Symantec Endpoint Protection". How do I verify that the SVA appliances are registered properly... and that the SEP agents on the VMs are using vShield and that they are using the Shared Insight Cache? The documentation on this is very minimal and I would like to see if things are working correctly.
Any information on this would be very helpful. Thank you for your help.
