Start the Application Manager Virtual Appliance
Starting the Application Manager virtual appliance gives you access to the Application Manager virtual
appliance interface, including the CLI of the underlying SLES operating system.
You perform the preliminary configuration of Application Manager with the virtual appliance interface. The
underlying operating system for Application Manager is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP1. You can
configure the operating system files directly from the Application Manager virtual appliance interface. Use
caution when editing the operating system files since changes can have unanticipated affects on the
deployment.
Procedure
1 Use vSphere Client to install the Application Manager virtual appliance by choosing the Deploy OVF
Template option.
See VMware vSphere documentation.
2 Power on the virtual appliance.
This action boots the virtual appliance's SLES operating system, starts the Application Manager processes,
and connects to a DHCP server, if present, to acquire an IP address.
During start up, the virtual machine displays messages in the Application Manager virtual appliance interface.
You can usually ignore the messages until you are prompted to change the UNIX password. You can perform
the initial configuration of the Application Manager as described in “Use the Virtual Appliance Interface for
the Initial Application Manager Configuration,” on page 28.
