Installation and Quick Start

The following sections provide installation and quick start information, including step-by-step instructions for deploying and configuring ASM in VMware vSphere or Microsoft virtualization environment. Only one instance of ASM should be installed within a network environment. Exceeding this limit can cause conflicts in device communication.

Information Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

Gather TCP/IP address information to assign to the virtual appliance.

Deploying the ASM virtual appliance to a VMware vSphere environment requires that both VMware vCenter Server and VMware vSphere Client be running.

Deploying the ASM virtual appliance to a Microsoft Windows virtualization environment requires that the hyper-v host on which ASM will be deployed is installed on a running instance of SCVMM..

Download ASM appliance file, which contains either the virtual appliance .ovf file for (VMware) or the virtual appliance virtual hard drive .vhd (Hyper-V).

Determine the host on which the ASM virtual appliance will be installed. You can use any host managed by VMware vCenter or Hyper-V manager that has network connectivity with your out-of- band (OOB), management, and potentially iSCSI networks. This is required for discovery to complete successfully.

CAUTION: ASM virtual appliance functions as a regular virtual machine. Therefore, any interruptions or shut downs affects the overall functionality.

Installing Active System Manger

Before you begin, make sure that systems are connected and VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSphere Client, and SCVMM are running.
