Installing Halon VSP on to VMware Server 2
Download and extract the VMX package of the VSP. These files has to be added to the VMware Server 2 host.
Copy Files to Datastore
Start by connecting to your VMware Server 2 host using your web browser. Go to the summary page on the Server 2 host in the listing. View the Location path of the datastore. In this example "C:\Virtual Machines\".
Copy the "Virtual Machine"-folder of the Halon VSP installation to "C:\Virtual Machines\" using (Windows) Explorer. You may rename the "Virtual Machine" folder to a more describing name like "Halon VSP", but in this guide we choose not to.
- It is recommended that you copy the machine instead of moving it directly into the Server 2 folder, since you will then be able to re-use the Virtual Machine.
Add Virtual Machine
Choose "Add Virtual Machine to Inventory" and browse your Datastore to the "Virtual Machine" and select the "Halon VSP-Server2.vmx" file and press "OK".
If it doesn't show up, make sure it's copied successfully and press the "Refresh Datastore" button, right below "Add Virtual Machine to Inventory".
Start the Appliance
Start the machine and view the boot process in the VMware console.
Once booted, access the unit on the IP address you assigned during the installation (eg http://192.168.0.1/) using the username/password of admin/admin. For further assistance, please see the getting started document, or read the mail gateway configuration section.
