Deploy a Connector in VMware
A resource connector is a lightweight service deployed in a virtual machine in your cloud environment. A resource connector manages the network communications to a configured private resource. Cisco Secure Access provides a pre-configured resource connector image for VMware ESXi.
This guide describes the steps to deploy an OVA file package that includes the Secure Access virtual appliance image for resource connectors running on VMware ESXi. You can deploy the Secure Access OVF template to create your resource connector instances on VMware vSphere or vCenter.
Note: Secure Access does not support deploying resource connectors on standalone VMware ESXi hosts. You can only create your resources connectors on VMware vSphere or vCenter.
