required to orchestrate VSA deployment and storage provisioning.

Visual C++ runtime libraries and Microsoft .NET FX 3.5 SP1 are required. These are automatically installed (if they are not 
already present) when the SvSAN setup executable file (setup.exe) is run.
Note: If you are using Microsoft Windows Server 2012, you must perform this operation manually by choosing Server 
Manager > Add Roles and Features.
This section describes how to install the StorMagic VCenter Integration Services package and Neutral Storage Service in 
vCenter. The NSH is recommended to prevent a split-brain scenario in the event of a network fault.
Before you install SvSAN vCenter integration Service on vCenter Server, create a data center and a cluster and add ESXi hosts 
to the cluster.
