Installing Parallels Virtual Automation 9
* The PVA Management Server component cannot be installed directly on a Parallels
Server Bare Metal physical server due to the virtualization software already installed on
this server. The workaround solution is to create a Container on the PSBM physical
server and to launch the PVA installation there. A Container is free from any
virtualization technologies, so you can easily install PVA Management Server on it. To
ensure a successful installation, the Container should be created on the basis of the ve-
slm.2048MB.conf-sample template.
The PVA Management Server component cannot be as well installed on a dedicated
Mac, Linux-, or Windows-based physical server. But creating a virtual environment on
this physical server allows you to launch the PVA Management Server component
installation inside it. Create a Container on Linux or Windows server, and a virtual
machine with any OS on a Mac server.
For the instructions on creating a Container, refer to the Parallels
®
Virtuozzo Containers for
Linux User Guide or Parallels
®
Virtuozzo Containers for Windows User Guide.
For the instructions on creating a virtual machine, refer to the Parallels
®
