Using the vCenter Plug-in on a Tomcat Server
VMware requires that all vCenter plug-ins are web-based applications hosted on a
Tomcat Server, which can be downloaded and installed on Linux and Windows
systems. Here is a link to Tomcat:
http://tomcat.apache.org/
The QLogic vCenter Plug-in supports Tomcat 5, 6, and 7. The installer
dynamically detects the Tomcat version and installs accordingly.
This section provides the following procedures for using the vCenter Plug-in on a
Tomcat Server:
