Introduction

 

 

 

This is a simplified installation procedure that has been thoroughly tested by our engineers. It meets most customer's needs and can be trusted for installation of vSTREAM Embedded on any Windows Server-based host. The complete and detailed installation guide can be found on MyNetscout. We've installed vSTREAM Embedded with success on both physical and virtual servers. However, vSTREAM EMB is supported by Netscout on virtual machines only.

Silent installation

vSTREAM EMB is available for 32 and 64 bit Windows Server operating systems Version 2008 and above. 

Copy the latest version of the .exe to c:\temp directory and checksum.

Open a command prompt as Administrator (right-click + Run as administrator).

Execute the following command; be aware that the name of the exe may be different. Replace A.B.C.D with the IP address of the nGeniusONE Server.

c:\temp\is-6110-646-vSTREAM-EMB-x64.exe /s /v/qn /v"INSTALLDIR=C:\NETSCOUT\vSCOUT NSHTTP_PORT=7080 NSHTTPS_PORT=7443 NSCONFIG_SERVER_IP=A.B.C.D NSCOMM_PORT=395 NSCONSOLE_PORT=1501 NSCONFIG_MONITOR_PORT=1 NSCONFIG_MGMT_PORT=1"

This is a silent install; the command prompt will return immediately after you clicked <Enter>, but the installer is still running.

The easyest way to check if the installation has finished, is to open Task Manager and to look for the two background processes associated with vSTEAM EMB, nsprobe and procmanager.

Configuration

Start the System Tray Utility

The preferred way to configure vSTREAM EMB is using the System Tray Utility.  Start the System Tray Utility manually by double-clicking this file:

C:\NETSCOUT\vSTREAM-EMB\rtm\bin\nstray.exe

A (hidden) green orb should appear in the System Tray. 

Close the CMD Window.

Tip: to have this utility start automatically at reboot, add a shortcut to the common startup folder. The common startup folder is found at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp.

If the server has multiple interfaces , you may have to modify monitoring and management Interface  You can select up to four interfaces to monitor (check resources!) and one management interface.

Right-click the orb and select Configure.  Change the interfaces accordingly and click Apply.  Confirm the restart of the vSTREAM EMB processes.
