About Thick Provisioning

Thick provisioning occurs when an OVA file is deployed on your ESX/ESXi server. This

type of provisioning pre-allocates all the hard disk space for the virtual appliance.

Installing with vSphere

To perform a fresh install of the SonicWALL Email Security Virtual Appliance using the

vSphere client, perform the following steps:

1. Download the es_vm_7.2.x.xxxx.ova file from MySonicWALL to a system that is

accessible to your ESX/ESXi server.

Note: Do not rename the OVA files.

2. Launch vSphere and use it to log on to your ESX/ESXi server.
