Network Management

Installing Airwave 8.0.1 using the OVA File.

Step 1- Get the OVA file from the Support site.

Step 2- Open VMware, go to file>open> navigate to the downloaded file and click open. You will then be prompted to name the new VM, then click import.

Step 3- Now we wait.

Step 4 – Power on the new VM

Step 5 – Configure Time, Static IP, DNS entry, Server Name, and New Password.

Step 6 – Log into the new Airwave.

With OVA, it is possible to resize hard disk ? (and change other settings like vCPU or RAM ?)

If you plan to resize any of the resources from the OVA, this step needs to be done prior to powering on the VM.  That way the VM detects the change.

If you've already run through the setup, you may have to power off and power on the VM to get it to detect the new resources, but I have had 50/50 luck with changing resources post install.

Better to use ISO when need the resize the hard disk ;-)

That OVA install is so nice.

ISO isnt difficult but the simplicity of OVA is excellent. Like mentioned, it is a template without the obvious knobs needed to adjust configuration.
