Manual Deployment

Deploying the appliances creates preconfigured virtual machines on your VMware ESX Server. Use the OVF templates that are provided in each appliance to deploy the monitoring service cartridge.

If your security policies or other considerations restrict share access to the ESX, select manual deployment through VMware vSphere Client. You can manually deploy monitoring service cartridge using VMware vSphere Client.

You can deploy the templates using the VMware vSphere Client.

Note: Use the worksheet to enter the specific values that are required during the deployment process.
