How to Use the Virtual Appliance

You can use virtual appliance to create virtual CA Enterprise Log Manager servers for your event log collection environment using the following scenarios:

• Adding virtual servers to an existing CA Enterprise Log Manager environment - creating a mixed environment
• Creating a virtual log collection environment
• Deploying virtual CA Enterprise Log Manager servers for rapid scalability

Use VMware vSphere Client to install the virtual appliance, manually or silently. The OVF descriptor file contains the configuration parameters to configure CA Enterprise Log Manager. Enter a value for each configuration parameter during the installation.
