Install a Partner Service
If the partner solution includes a host-resident virtual appliance, you can install the service after you register
the solution.
Prerequisites
If you have not registered third party solutions with NSX Manager, you must manually add the solution to
NSX Manager before you can install the service. See Chapter 5, “Extensibility (Integrate Partner Solutions
with NSX),” on page 41.
Ensure that NSX Manager can access the partner solution's management console.

9 On the Configure management network page, select the distributed virtual port group to host the
management interface. This port group must be able to reach the NSX Manager’s port group.
If the network is set to Specified on host, the network to be used must be specified in the Agent VM
Settings > Network property of each host in the cluster. See vSphere API/SDK Documentation.
When you add a host(s) to the cluster, the Agent VM Settings > Network property for the host must be
set before it is added to the cluster.
The selected port group must be available on all hosts in the selected cluster.
