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

.. _22.2|EKB-13160:

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.

   .. image:: /src/images/analytics-install-2.png

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

   .. image:: /src/images/insights-install-3.png

   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.

      Changing the admin password is possible via the **Change Passwords**
      menu option.
 
   
#. 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**, select the interface to configure.
      
      Select **IPs** and set the IP Address and netmask in the format
      ``nn.nn.nn.nn/24`` and save.

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

      Modify the parameters for the selected interface:

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

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

      Be sure to use the format `default <gateway IP address>` for the entry. The word *default* is required.  
      For additional route entries use the `<subnet> < gateway>` format.  
      Similar to what would be done on a Linux system at the CLI.


      .. 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.
   
   c. For **SSHD Config**, multi-line entries can be added if needed -
      for example for CUCM v11.5 support. See: :ref:`multiline-cucm-cipher-support`.

         This step is not relevant to the DS9 and Insights NetFlow solution. This step is 
         relevant only to an Insights Assurance solution and its integration with Cisco UC systems. 

#. Base system installation is now complete. Select **Quit** to exit
   the **Administration** menu on the console and continue with product
   registration and with the configuration of your system through the GUI:
