You only need to configure each virtual machine once.

1.Copy or download the VSA .zip file.

2.Copy or unzip the VSA files to the virtual machine directory. Copy the files to multiple directories for multiple VSAs.

Configuring the VSA with VMware Player, VMware Server, or VMware Workstation

1.Open the VMware console.

2.Click File→Open to open the VSA.vmx file.

3.Navigate to the location of the unzipped VSA files.

4.Select the VSA.vmx file and click Open.

5.Edit the VSA settings as required by the VMware console you are using. Select the appropriate network mode:

•Bridged

•NAT

•Host-only

NOTE: All VSAs on the same platform should use the same networking mode. When running multiple VSAs on a single host, use NAT or Host-only networking mode, and use DHCP to assign IP addresses to the VSAs.

6.Power on the VSA.

7.Use the Configuration Interface to set the IP address and host name as described in “Powering on the VSA for vSphere and setting IP address and hostname” (page 9).
