   • Ensure that the virtual machine has enough allocated disk space to store the configuration and log file data for the appliance. Allocate at least 100 GB of disk space for the appliance.
   • Specify Generation 1 as the virtual machine generation. The virtual appliance must be run as Generation 1 virtual machine, Generation 2 virtual machines are not supported.
   • The memory size has influence over how many Web Reverse Proxy instances can be created and how many sessions can be active at a single point in time. The minimum memory size is 4096 MB.
   • A virtual appliance must have a minimum of one and a maximum of eight network adapters.
   • Each network adapter must be of the type Network Adapter. The Legacy Network Adapter type is not supported.

2. Configure the virtual machine to boot from the .iso file and then start the virtual machine.
   Note: If the hard disk that is attached to the virtual machine already contains a Linux partition, the installer always runs in interactive mode.
   • To run the installer in silent mode, wait 10 seconds or press Enter. After the silent installation completes, the virtual machine is shut down automatically. If you want to continue with setting up the appliance, restart the virtual machine.
   • To run the installer in interactive mode, enter interactive and then press Enter.

     2. Examine the installation messages to ensure that the installation was successful. After the installation process is complete, unmount the installation media and then press Enter to reboot the appliance.
3. 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.
