You can install the NIOS virtual software package on a host with VMware ESX or ESXi 7.0, 6.7, 6.5.x, 6.0.x installed and configure it as a virtual appliance. You can configure the storage either with 250 GB or you can choose a configuration above 80 GB during the first boot.

To maintain high performance on your NIOS virtual appliances and to avoid not having enough resources to service all NIOS virtual appliances, do not oversubscribe physical resources on the virtualization host. Required memory, CPU, and disk resources must be adequately allocated for each NIOS virtual appliance that is running on the virtualization host. |
