Deploying the RuBAN 5 OVA

To set up the OVA file do the following;

• Download the latest OVA from our Downloads page.
• Extract the contents of the ova file.
  
  
• You should be left with 4 files - .mf, .ovf, .vmdk and .iso
  
  
  
  • If using Vmware, deploy the .ovf file: File > Deploy OVF Template
    
    
    
    
  • If using Oracle Virtualbox, delete the .mf file and deploy the .ovf file: File > Import Appliance

• Follow the steps in the wizard and your VM will be added.

IMPORTANT: The default size of the OVA deployed is 8 GB size. To avoid future issues, please increase the disk size by following the instruction in one of these documents:
