Deploying the ADM Virtual Appliances
VirtualappliancesareinstalledontheESXserveraccordingtheconfigurationsinTable 2‐3.
Before You Begin
Ensureallrequirementsaremetasdescribedin“ESXResources”onpage 15.
Deployment Procedure
RepeatthefollowingstepsoneachADMvirtualappliance,excepttheWindowsCollectorthatisinstalled
separatelyasdescribedin“InstallingWindowsCollector”onpage 20:
1 DownloadtheADMvirtualappliancefilesfromVMwareWebsiteandextractthefilestoalocalfolder.
TheextractedZipfilesincludeanOVFand
aVMDKfile.
TheVAfilesareinZipformatwiththefollowingnamingconvention:
OVFTemplate ‐buildnumber
where:
 OVFTemplate isasdescribedinTable 2‐3.
 buildnumberistheADMversionandbuildnumber.
