Hi,
I can see that vShield Zones are included in the vSphere 5 Enterprise license and above. This is very interesting for me as I don't need more than this for now. However, when revising the documentation on vShield Manager 5.0 I can see, that there is no mention of the vShield Zones (only vShield App, Edge and Endpoint). Further more, on vShield Zones FAQ (http://www.vmware.com/products/vshield-zones/faq.html) I read that:
vShield Zones is compatible with:
- (Required) vSphere: 4.0 U1, 4.1 (including ESX, ESXi 4.1, 4.0), 5.0
- vCenter Server: 4.0, 4.1
Now, I don't understand this mess. Q:
1. So I can not use my vCenter 5.0 to manage vShield Zones?
2. And I suppose vShield Manager 5.0 can't manage vShield Zones?
3. Therefore, to use the "free" vShield Zones, do I have to install vShield Manager 4.1? Is this supported on vSphere 5?
4. Or is there any other way to install, configure & use vShield Zones in vSphere 5?
Thanks for any in insights!
