Support for VMware Tools on the Panorama Virtual Appliance

Table of Contents

VMware Tools is bundled with the software image (ovf) for the Panorama virtual appliance. The support for VMware Tools
allows you to use the vSphere environment—vCloud Director and vCenter server—for the following:

View the IP address assigned to the Panorama management interface.

View resource utilization metrics on hard disk, memory, and CPU. You can use these metrics to enable alarms or actions
on the vCenter server or vCloud Director.

Graceful shutdown and restart of Panorama using the power off function on the vCenter server or vCloud Director.

Enables a heartbeat mechanism between the vCenter server and Panorama for verifying that Panorama is functioning, or
if the firewall/Panorama is rebooting. If the firewall goes into maintenance mode, heartbeats are disabled so that the
vCenter server does not shut down the firewall. Disabling heartbeats allows the firewall to stay operational in
maintenance mode when it cannot not send heartbeats to the vCenter server.
