#INSTALL OVF VMWARE LICENSE#

If you know your environment will expand in the future, it is recommended to add hard disks larger than the FortiAnalyzer VM base license requirement and utilize Thin Provision when setting the OVF Template disk format. Note that once a Thin Provisioned block is allocated, it remains in the volume regardless of if you have deleted data, etc. This allows you to float space between your servers, and expand your storage when your size monitoring indicates there is a problem. Other volumes can take the remaining space.

Thin Provision : Allocates the disk space only when a write occurs to a block, but the total volume size is reported by the Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) to the OS.

Thick Provision Eager Zeroed: Allocates the disk space statically (no other volumes can take the space), and writes zeros to all the blocks.

#INSTALL OVF VMWARE FULL#

Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed: Allocates the disk space statically (no other volumes can take the space), but does not write zeros to the blocks until the first write takes place to that block during runtime (which includes a full disk format).

The name can contain up to 80 characters and it must be unique within the inventory folder. The OVF Template Name and Location page opens.

In a branch office I recently had the demand to deploy an OVF template that is stored on the local datastore of an ESXi host.
