Deploying the Virtual Appliance on a Hyper-V Server
This chapter provides an overview of the Extreme Control Center, NAC, and Purview virtual appliance
deployment requirements and provides instructions for deploying a virtual appliance on a VMware® and
Hyper-V server.
Deploying the Virtual Appliance on a VMware ESX Server
Deployment Requirements
A virtual appliance is a software image that runs on a virtual machine. The Extreme Control Center,
NAC, and Purview virtual appliances are packaged in the .OVA file format defined by VMware and must
be deployed on either a VMware ESX™4.0, 4.1, 5.0, or 5.1 server, or a VMware ESXi™ 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, or 6.0
server with a vSphere™ 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, or 5.1 client.
The Extreme Control Center virtual appliance comes configured with 8 GB of memory, four CPUs, one
network adapter, and 100 GB of thick-provisioned hard drive space.
The NAC virtual appliance comes configured with 12 GB of memory, four CPUs, two network adapters,
and 40 GB of thick-provisioned hard drive space.
The Purview virtual appliance comes configured with 8 GB of memory, four CPUs, two network
adapters, and 40 GB of thick-provisioned hard drive space.
Deploying the Virtual Appliance
Use the following steps to deploy a Extreme Control Center, NAC, or Purview virtual appliance on a
VMware ESX or ESXi server.
