For customers whose versions of vCenter are below vCenter 6.7, it is not possible to use the auto-deployment method in the UI. To deploy sensors, the following methods can be used depending on the version of vCenter.
For vCenter 6.0 and 6.5 it is possible to deploy via PowerShell. You can see our guide Deploying Faddom Sensors Using Powershell
βFor vCenter 5.5 and below, or for standalone ESXI hosts, you will need to perform a manual deployment. To do this, the below guides need to be followed -
See the Sensor Deployment section of What are the configuration changes the auto deployment performs?
For setting up promiscuous mode on the switches created follow our guide Configuring a vSwitch with promiscuous mode
Connect the Fadodm server to each deployed sensor by following Configuring A Manually Deployed Sensor
