Prepare to host a data collection node

The Splunk Add-on for VMware uses a virtual appliance version of the Data Collection Node (DCN) to collect performance metrics. Splunk distributes this as an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) file called The Splunk OVA for VMware.

See the Install the Splunk OVA for VMware section of the Splunk OVA for VMWare and NetApp manual for Data Collection Node configuration information.
