VMWare Prerequisites
If you are using VMWare, download the ExaVault image and use your hypervisor system to import the ExaVault image and launch the VM.
Make sure to add a secondary drive for data storage and attach it to the VM. We recommend that you make it as large as your environment can support. All data on the appliance will be saved to this drive. A minimum of 500GB is recommended.
Once the new VM is created, select the new Virtual Machine and choose Edit Settings.
Change the CPU and Memory settings to match the required resources. Normally this is 4 vCPU and 16 GB of memory.
The Guest OS Family must be set to Linux, and the Guest OS Version to Debian GNU/Linux 6 (64bit).
Ensure that the root disk for the new VM has at least 100GB of available space.
Power on the virtual machine and login via the console as admin with the password DefaultPassChangeMe1! .
Change the hostname to your desired hostname using the command:
Use the passwd command to change the password for the admin user.
Create and apply the appropriate netplan configuration in /etc/netplan/.
