Virtual appliance
A virtual appliance can be created at any time using the VM Build Service within the Service section of our web site. The appliance will be sent to you via Cryptshare.
Scope of delivery of the VM Build Service
The following files are shipped to you by the VM Build Service
- The virtual appliance (.VMDK file)
- The configuration file for the virtual appliance (.OVF file)
- The required passwords (.TXT file)
- The information about required product manuals (.TXT file)
Supported host versions
Cryptshare virtual appliances will be deliverred in the version 4 of the virtual machine. This version is compatible with VMware ESX Server Version 3.0 and higher. If you use a newer ESX version, please upgrade the virtual hardware version as follows:
Additionaly set the Guest OS settings to the newest version of SUSE Linux Enterprise 64bit provided by your vSphere
ESXi Server 4.x and higher
- Open your vSphere Client
- Right click to a cluster
- Select Deploy OVF Template
- Click Browse and navigate to the storage location of your virtual appliance
- Open the configuration file (.OVF) and the virtual disk (.VMDK)
- Follow the instructions on the screen
Installation without ovf configuration file
If the configuration file (.OVF) is not available or the import is not working, a new virtual machine can be set up alternatively. Use the received .VMDK file as the virtual disk for the new machine when setting up the new virtual machine. It is recommended to use SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (64bit) or higher as guest operating system. For all further options the default option selected by the wizard can be used.
By default the available disk space for uploads is limited to approx. 15-16GB. Therefore it is recommended to add an additional virtual disk with the preferred size to the appliance.
To configure the additional virtual disk as upload directory, proceed as follows on the Linux console:
- Log in as root on the console
- Change into the folder /opt/csappliance using the command cd /opt/csappliance
- Run the script attachHDD.sh using the command ./attachHDD.sh
The script will attach the new disk to the system and configure it as new upload directory. Rebooting the appliance is not required.
Hardware Appliance
The hardware appliance is delivered pre-installed. The installation consists of the operating system, the virus scanner and the Cryptshare Server. The network settings are configured according to the information provided by you during the order process. Please connect the appliance with the network and plug in the power supply.
