2.7 Installation - Software Appliance and VMware Virtual Appliance Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance installation process consists of the following simple steps: Start of the installation Software Appliance ISO image of the installation CD can be burned on a physical CD and then the CD can be used for installation of the system on the target computer (either physical or virtual). In case of virtual computers, the ISO image can be also connected as a virtual CD ROM, without the need to burn the installation ISO file on a CD. Note: Kerio Control Software Appliance cannot be installed on a computer with another operating system. Existing operating system on the target disk will be removed within the installation. VMware Virtual Appliance Supported VMware hypervisor versions: • Workstation 6.5 and 7.0 • Server 2.0 • Fusion 2.0 and 3.0 • Player 2.5 and 3.0 • ESX 3.5 and 4.0 • ESXi 3.5 and 4.0 Use an installation package in accordance with the type of your VMware product (see above): • In case of products VMware Server, Workstation and Fusion, download the compressed VMX distribution file (*.zip), unpack it and open it in the your VMware product. • You can import a virtual appliance directly to VMware ESX/ESXi from the URL of the OVF file — for example: http://download.kerio.com/dwn/control/ kerio-control-appliance-7.0.0-1234-linux.ovf VMware ESX/ESXi automatically downloads the OVF configuration file and a corresponding disk image (.vmdk). If you import virtual appliance in the OVF format, bear in mind the following specifics: • In the imported virtual appliance, time synchronization between the host and the virtual appliance is disabled. However, Kerio Control features a proprietary mechanism for synchronization of time with public Internet time servers. Therefore, it is not necessary to enable synchronization with the host. • Tasks for shutdown or restart of the virtual machine will be set to default values after the import. These values can be set to “hard” shutdown or “hard” reset. However, this may cause loss of data on the virtual appliance. Kerio Control VMware Virtual Appliance supports so called Soft Power Operations which 23
