2. Installing and Uninstalling OneCommand
Manager for VMware vCenter Components
Best Installation Practices
OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter provides real-time management as a
plug-in through the VMware vSphere console and VMware Web Client. The web client
allows you to run OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter from the vSphere Web
client. System performance is directly influenced by the speed and efficiency of the
underlying network infrastructure. The following bullets outline recommendations to
achieve the best application response times.

To avoid network latencies, ensure that all the managed ESXi hosts, the vCenter
Server and the VI infrastructure client are in the same network.

To avoid configuration conflicts, install the vCenter Server and the VI
infrastructure client on different hosts within the same network.
