A county partner endpoint-protection service deployment shows Down even though the service VMs exist. The protected workloads are powered off and have no Guest Introspection policy. What does healthy GI require?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
GI health is a three-legged stool: guests must be on, Tools must have the introspection bits, and a policy has to send work to the partner service. A dark VM cannot check in.
Full Explanation
Guest Introspection health depends on powered-on VMs that run the GI thin-agent drivers and on a service or endpoint-protection policy that assigns those VMs to the partner. A deployed SVM alone is not sufficient. Carbon Black readiness and DFW default-allow do not mark GI healthy.
