Installing the virtual appliance by using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV)

Use the provided .iso image to install the virtual appliance in a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) environment.

Procedure

  1. Create a new virtual machine.
    Note:
    • 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.
    • 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 E1000 or Virtio. Use Virtio for better performance.
    • The hard disk drive must be configured as a Virtio disk device.
  2. Configure the virtual machine to start from the .iso file and then start the virtual machine.
    • 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.
      Note: If the hard disk that is attached to the virtual machine already contains a Linux partition, the installer always runs in interactive mode.
      1. 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.
      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 restart 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.
