The following permissions are required for installing the ApplicationHA guest components on the virtual machines:
You must have root privileges on the virtual machine where you install the guest components.
In case of remote installation, you must also have root privileges on all the virtual machines where you install the ApplicationHA guest components.
When you use the vSphere Client menu to install the guest components, the installer prompts for the vCenter Server user name and password during the installation.
This user account must have the privileges to enumerate the virtual machines visible in the vSphere Client.
The installer uses this account to discover the virtual machine names in the vCenter Server inventory.
