Xen or KVM - Import Disk Alternate Install
These are special case installation instructions for installing the Device42 appliance on Xen- or KVM-based platforms if the import disk image option is missing. Otherwise, please refer to Device42 Xen and KVM install docs.
Download and Uncompress with bunzip2
The raw image for Xen or KVM has been compressed using bzip2. When you get the file on the KVM host, run the bunzip2 command to uncompress the file:
bunzip2 device42-3.2.3-raw.img.bz2
Create a New Virtual Machine
Once you have uncompressed the downloaded raw image, create a new virtual machine.
Choose the Network Boot option. We'll add the disk later. Please make sure you don't have some sort of automated network boot enabled for this machine. You will not see the Import existing disk image option.
Choose OS and Version
Choose "Linux" as the OS type and "Ubuntu 14.04" for the version. If you don't see the option for 14.04, choose the latest version available.
Allocate at least 8 GB RAM and 2 vCPU for production appliances. See Sizing Recommendations.
Choose Disk (Bunzipped File)
Choose your virtualization type from Advanced options and "i686" as the Architecture and you are ready to go.
Disable Network Boot
Go to Details (1), Boot Options (2), uncheck Network(PXE), and click Apply (4).
Complete the Setup
Follow the steps outlined in "Set Up the Main Appliance and Log In" section of the Xen or KVM Using Virt-Manager - Installation page to complete the installation of the Main Appliance.
