To install multiple Host Data Collector computers, make sure that the same Host Data Collector
version and revision are installed on all computers.
• VMware Tools must be installed on the virtual machines operating on virtualization servers, if a
virtual HBA is allocated to the virtual machines.

ization server, and between a Host Data Collector computer and VMware vCenter Server.
