Use the provided .iso image to install the virtual appliance.
Procedure
- Create a new virtual machine with your VMware
ESX or vSphere.
Note: - The instructions for creating a virtual machine might
differ depending on your VMware ESX or vSphere version. See the VMware
documentation that suits your version for specific instructions.
- Ensure that the virtual machine has enough disk space
that is allocated to store the configuration and log file data for
the appliance. Allocate at least 100 GB of disk space for the appliance.
- Specify Virtual Machine Version 7 or later as your virtual machine
version.
- Specify Linux as the guest operating system
and Other 2.6x Linux (64-bit) as the guest
operating system version.
- The memory size has influence over how many WebSEAL
instances can be created and how many sessions can be active at a
single point in time. The minimum memory size is 4096 MB.
- The appliance needs four to six virtual network adapters.
The first two network adapters serve as management interfaces. The
rest of the network adapters serve as application interfaces. Four
network adapters can be configured by using the wizard. Additional
network adapters can be added upon completion of the wizard. Each
network adapter must be of the type E1000 or VMXNET 3.
- For SCSI controller, select LSI Logic Parallel.
- For Virtual Device Node, select SCSI (0:0).
- Configure the virtual machine to boot from the supplied
.iso file and then start the virtual machine. The
installer executes automatically.
- Select the language to be used during the installation
by entering the number that corresponds to the language that
you want to use.
- Enter YES to proceed with
the installation. Alternatively if you do not want to proceed
with the installation, enter NO to move to the reboot
prompt.
- Examine the installation messages to ensure
that the installation was successful. After the installation process
is complete, unmount the installation media and then press the Enter key
to reboot the appliance.
- When the reboot operation is complete, you can
start the console-based appliance setup wizard by logging on as the admin user
with a password of admin. Alternatively, the Appliance
Setup wizard can be accessed through the local management interface.
