Deploying the OVF template

1. Click All devices > Add > VMware ESXi > Virtual Appliance (OVF).

   The .zip archive is downloaded to your machine.

2. Unpack the .zip archive. The folder contains one .ovf file and two .vmdk files.
3. Ensure that these files can be accessed from the machine running the vSphere Client.
4. Start the vSphere Client and log on to the vCenter Server.
5. Deploy the OVF template.
   • When configuring storage, select the shared datastore, if it exists. Thick or thin disk format does not matter, as it does not affect the appliance performance.
   • When configuring network connections, be sure to select a network that allows an Internet connection, so that the agent can properly register itself in the cloud.
