To convert a Junos Space Virtual Appliance to a virtual machine:
1. From the OVF Tool command line, you enter the following information:
•
name for the virtual machine
•
datastore that can accommodate all files of the source virtual machine
•
path for the *.ovf file
•
Host system (IP address, user, and password)
The following sample command converts a Junos Space Virtual Appliance to a virtual
machine:
/usr/bin/ovftool/ovftool --name=space1vm --datastore=datastore-linux01
/tmp/vmachine/space-2.0R1.165552/space-2.0R1.165552.ovf
vi://username:password@10.157.xxx.xxx
In the preceding sample command:
•
space1vm is the name of the virtual machine.
•
datastore-linux01 is the datastore for the virtual machine source files.
•
/tmp/vmachine/space-2.0R1.165552/space-2.0R1.165552.ovf is the path for the
OVF file.
•
10.157.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the host server.
•
username specifies a user to access the host server.
•
password specifies a password to access the host server.
Increasing RAM and Virtual Processors (CPU) for a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
The distributed Junos Space Virtual Appliance files are created with 4 GB of RAM and
one virtual processor (CPU). To support Junos Space functionality, after deploying the
Junos Space Virtual Appliance to the VMware ESX server, you must increase RAM and
add virtual processors for the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.
To increase RAM and add virtual processors for the Junos Space Virtual Appliance:
1. Launch the VMware vSphere client that is connected to the ESX Server where the
Junos Space Virtual Appliance is deployed.
2. Select the Junos Space Virtual Appliance from the inventory view.
3. If the Junos Space Virtual Appliance is powered on, you must power off the appliance
to configure RAM and increase the number of virtual processors (CPUs). To power
off the Virtual Appliance, right-click the Junos Space Virtual Appliance icon, and select
Power > Power Off.
4. Select the Summary tab to view the Junos Space virtual machine settings for CPU
and memory.
The default CPU setting is 1. The default memory setting is 4096 MB.
