Prerequisites for Access Point Deployment
n
Familiarize yourself with the deployment options available. See “Access Point Deployment Properties,”
on page 27. The following options are required: static IP address for the Access Point appliance, IP
address of the DNS server, password for the root user, and the URL of the Horizon server or load
balancer that this Access Point appliance will point to.
n
Determine how many network interfaces and static IP addresses to configure for the Access Point
appliance. See “Networking Requirements,” on page 18.
IMPORTANT Verify that you have assigned an IP pool to each network. The Access Point appliance can
then pick up the subnet mask and gateway settings at deployment time. To add an IP pool, in vCenter
Server, if you are using the native vSphere Client, go to the IP Pools tab of the data center.
Alternatively, if you are using the vSphere Web Client, you can create a network protocol profile. Go to
the Manage tab of the data center and select the Network Protocol Profiles tab. For more information,
see Configuring Protocol Profiles for Virtual Machine Networking.
n
Verify that the data store you plan to use for the appliance has enough free disk space and meets other
system requirements. The download size of the virtual appliance is 1.4GB. By default, for a thin-
provisioned disk, the appliance requires 2.5GB, and a thick-provisioned disk requires 20GB. Also see
“Access Point System Requirements,” on page 17.
n
Download the .ova installer file for the Access Point appliance from the VMware Web site at
https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads, or determine the URL to use (example:
http://example.com/vapps/euc-access-point-Y.Y.0.0-xxxxxxx_OVF10.ova), where Y.Y is the version
number and xxxxxxx is the build number.
Example OVF Tool Command That Uses Access Point Deployment Properties

vi://root:password@vc.example.com/ExampleDC/host/ap
NOTE The caret characters at the ends of the lines are escape characters for line continuation on Windows,
which can be used in a BAT script. You can alternatively just type the entire command on one line.
