Dell POWERVAULT MD3620I - Manual (Page 9)

NOTE: If you cannot access dell.com/support from your application server, download the MD vCenter Plug-in
installer to another host, then copy the installer files to the application server. The Plug-in installer must be run
from the application server itself.
Upgrading From A Previous Version
If you are upgrading from a previous version of the MD vCenter Plug-in but plan to use the same host server as the
application server, run the latest installer on the current application server. The installation wizard will prompt for an
administrator password before unregistering and upgrading your MD vCenter Plug-in version.
Application Server Requirements
The Windows-based application server configured with vCenter Client should be installed on a separate server
installation than the one running vCenter Server. While it is possible to install the application server and vCenter Server
on the same host, it is not recommended.
