2.7 Installation - <strong>Software</strong> Appliance and VMware Virtual Appliance<br />

<strong>Software</strong> Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance installation process consists of the following<br />

simple steps:<br />

Start of the installation<br />

<strong>Software</strong> Appliance<br />

ISO image of the installation CD can be burned on a physical CD and then the CD can<br />

be used for installation of the system on the target computer (either physical or virtual).<br />

In case of virtual computers, the ISO image can be also connected as a virtual CD ROM,<br />

without the need to burn the installation ISO file on a CD.<br />

Note: <strong>Kerio</strong> Control <strong>Software</strong> Appliance cannot be installed on a computer with another<br />

operating system. Existing operating system on the target disk will be removed within<br />

the installation.<br />

VMware Virtual Appliance<br />

Supported VMware hypervisor versions:<br />

• Workstation 6.5 and 7.0<br />

• Server 2.0<br />

• Fusion 2.0 and 3.0<br />

• Player 2.5 and 3.0<br />

• ESX 3.5 and 4.0<br />

• ESXi 3.5 and 4.0<br />

Use an installation package in accordance with the type of your VMware product (see<br />

above):<br />

• In case of products VMware Server, Workstation and Fusion, download the<br />

compressed VMX distribution file (*.zip), unpack it and open it in the your<br />

VMware product.<br />

• You can import a virtual appliance directly to VMware ESX/ESXi from the URL of<br />

the OVF file — for example:<br />

http://download.kerio.com/dwn/control/<br />

kerio-control-appliance-7.0.0-1234-linux.ovf<br />

VMware ESX/ESXi automatically downloads the OVF configuration file and<br />

a corresponding disk image (.vmdk).<br />

If you import virtual appliance in the OVF format, bear in mind the following specifics:<br />

• In the imported virtual appliance, time synchronization between the host and<br />

the virtual appliance is disabled. However, <strong>Kerio</strong> Control features a proprietary<br />

mechanism for synchronization of time with public Internet time servers.<br />

Therefore, it is not necessary to enable synchronization with the host.<br />

• Tasks for shutdown or restart of the virtual machine will be set to default values<br />

after the import. These values can be set to “hard” shutdown or “hard” reset.<br />

However, this may cause loss of data on the virtual appliance. <strong>Kerio</strong> Control<br />

VMware Virtual Appliance supports so called Soft Power Operations which<br />
