This section describes how to install a virtual appliance.
Important
This procedure uses VMware ESXi version 6.5.0 (build 8294253) and vSphere Web Client version 6.5.0.13000 (build 7515524) on VMware vCenter Server version 6.5.0 (build 7515524). The navigation instructions and user interface may vary based on your version of these products.
Note
This procedure covers the required settings for a Trellix virtual appliance. You can accept the default values for the other settings, or specify values that are appropriate for your setup.
Log in to vSphere Web Client.
Select the host in the Navigator pane and then select Actions > Deploy OVF Template to start the wizard.
On the Select template screen, paste the URL that Trellix provided that points to the OVA file containing the Email Security — Server system image, or click Browse and navigate to the OVA file stored in your file system. Click Next.
On the Select name and location screen, enter the name of the virtual appliance, and then select its location on the Browse tab.
On the Select a resource screen, select the host or other resource where you want to run the virtual appliance.
On the Review Details screen, review the information. If the information is correct, click Next. Otherwise, click Back and enter the correct information.
On the Select storage screen, select Thin provision from the Select virtual disk format drop-down menu.
On the Select networks screen, click Next to accept the default settings.
On the Customize template screen, you can complete fields to configure initial settings as described in Using the customize template screen. (If you do not use this screen, you must type the values into the vSphere Web Client console manually, because you cannot paste into this console.)
On the Ready to complete screen, verify the information and then click Finish.
