Planning for the procedure
Background knowledge
This procedure assumes that:
-
you are using a supported VMware vSphere version, as described in the 'VMware requirements' section of the SIMPL VM Documentation
-
you are installing into an existing VMware vSphere deployment which has pre-configured networks and VLANs; this procedure does not cover setting up a VMware vSphere deployment from scratch
-
you know the IP networking information (IP address, subnet mask in CIDR notation, and default gateway) for the SIMPL VM.
Reserve maintenance period
This procedure does not require a maintenance period. However, if you are integrating into a live network, we recommend that you implement measures to mitigate any unforeseen events.
Tools and access
You must have access to a local computer (referred to in this procedure as the local computer) with a network connection and access to the vSphere client.
This page references an external document: the SIMPL VM Documentation. Ensure you have a copy available before proceeding.
