Installing IWSVA
IWSVA only supports new installations or migrations from specific versions.
IWSVA supports migrating existing configuration and policy data from IWSVA 5.6, and
IWSVA 6.0, IWSVA 6.0 SP1, IWSVA 6.5 products (see Migration on page 1-6).
The IWSVA installation process formats your existing system to install IWSVA. The
installation procedure is basically the same for the Bare Metal and the VMware ESX
Hyper-V virtual machine platforms. The Bare Metal installation simply boots off of the
IWSVA installation DVD to begin the procedure. The VMware and Hyper-V
installations require the creation of a virtual machine before installation. Additional
VMware virtual machine configuration is described in Appendix E, Creating a New
Virtual Machine Under VMware ESX for IWSVA on page E-1. Additional Hyper-V virtual
machine configuration is described in Appendix F, Creating a New Virtual Machine Under
Microsoft Hyper-V for IWSVA on page F-1.
WARNING! Any existing data or partitions are removed during the installation pro-
cess. Backup any existing data on the system (if any) before installing
IWSVA.
IWSVA also installs a copy of the open source content caching application called Squid.
It is disabled by default but you can enable this free open-source utility through the
IWSVA administration Web UI. Trend Micro provides Squid content caching for
convenient and easy installation. Support for Squid is provided by the Squid
open-source community.
Trend Micro Disclaimer: Trend Micro IWSVA preinstalls Squid and provides the basic
configuration and statistical reports to help reduce the
complexity of installing and configuring Squid to function with
IWSVA. Squid is disabled by default and must be enabled by
the customer through the IWSVA administration user interface
after installation has been completed. Support for Squid is
obtained through open source channels and it is the
responsibility of the customer to become acquainted with
Squid's benefits and functionality before enabling.

Squid application can be found at the official Squid Web Proxy
