Deploy and VM Installation Steps  
--------------------------------

1. Download the OVA for your system to a directory accessible by the VM client.
#. Deploy the OVA:

   Select the downloaded OVA file and choose a VM name.

   .. image:: /src/images/insights-deploy-ova.png
    
#. Select *storage* according to the recommended hardware specifications for
   the required configuration. See the *VMWare Specification and Requirements*
   for your system.
  
#. Select *network* mappings according to the recommended hardware specifications for
   the required configuration. See the *VMWare Specification and Requirements*
   for your system.
#. When you run the VM, you will see ``.lxp`` packages being installed.
   This takes a while.

#. After all the packages are installed,
   the VM is automatically powered off.

   You will see the ``auto-poweroff`` message on the console.


#. After the system boots, wait at the ``login:`` prompt until a banner 
   with an ``About`` console display shows displaying values
   for the placeholders below:

   ::
     
                           About
       ===============================================
             Hostname:  <hostname>  
              Version:  <version>
                Theme:  <theme>
               Flavor:
              License:  NNNNN-NNNNN-NNNNN-NNNNN-NNNNN
        Days Licensed:  nnnnn
       Days Remaining:  nnnnn 
          Product Key:
              Website:  <website>                  
               Kernel:  Linux n.nn.nn-lxt-3 x86_64 GNU/Linux

       <hostname> login:
#. At the ``login:`` prompt, log in as ``admin`` with password as the last 10
   characters of the ``License:`` value, *excluding the dash*.

   .. note::

      Since the Licence key value is only displayed here.
      When you ssh in it will not be seen. Be sure to copy out your
      admin password from this console.
 
   
#. After login, the **Administration** menu shows, as in the example
   below for DS9:

   .. image:: /src/images/insights-install-6.png

#. Under **Network Configuration**,  provide ip/netmask, default gateway and hostname.

   a. Under **Interface Settings**, set the IP Address and netmask in the format, for example: ``nn.nn.nn.nn/24``
      and save.

      .. image:: /src/images/insights-install-7.png

      Set up the default gateway under the **Extra Routes** menu.


      .. image:: /src/images/insights-install-8.png
   
   b. Set hostname

      .. image:: /src/images/insights-install-9.png

      The console will show the ``Updating hosts:`` message. 
      Note that this setup takes a few minutes.

#. When this setup completes, you can quit the **Administration** menu on the console and
   continue the configuration of your system through the GUI:
