Warning:
Guest and IoT Manager is provided as a Virtual Appliance. Do not
install or configure any other software on the VM shipped.
l
Extreme Networks does not support the installation of any
VMware specific, UNIX specific, or any third-party vendor
package or RPM on its VM, other than what Extreme Networks
ships as a package, image, or OVA.
l
Do not install or uninstall any software components unless
Extreme Networks specifically provides the software and / or
instructs you to do so. Do not modify the configuration or the
properties of any software components of the VMs (including
VMware Tools) unless Extreme Networks documentation and /
or personnel specifically instructs you to do so. We do not
support any deviation from these guidelines.
l
Extreme Networks determines which VMware Tools to install
and configure. When required, Extreme Networks provides
these tools as part of the installation package. Extreme
Networks provides these tools because VMware Tools
configures the kernel and network settings and unless Extreme
Networks tests and approves these tools, We cannot guarantee
that the VM works after the tool is installed and configured.
Turn off automatic VMware Tools updates if you have enabled them. Refer to the
following instructions to disable automatic updates.
