Note

Note
The serial console output for instances deployed on ESX or ESXi hypervisors may have inconsistencies as the console output is from the VGA port. To view the console output for an instance, Infoblox recommends that you use the serial port connected to that instance.

  1. Download the NIOS virtual machine image files from the Infoblox Support site.

  2. Install the NIOS virtual or reporting virtual appliance as described in Installing the NIOS Virtual or Reporting Virtual Appliance.

  3. If you are using Elastic Scaling for your deployment, log in to the NIOS GUI (Grid Manager) and do the following:

    • Create offline Grid members that you plan to join to the Grid.

    • Pre-provision these Grid members.

    • Generate a token for each member. Copy the certification and token strings and save it for later use. For detailed instructions on how to pre-provision a member and obtain a token, see the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
      Note that Elastic Scaling for the Grid Master and HA is not supported.

  4. As you install and start each VM, use the show hwid command to obtain the hardware ID number for the new VM; then record the hardware ID number for each VM.

  5. Download and Install the license or licenses for your NIOS virtual appliance or appliances as described in Obtaining and Installing Your VM Licenses.

  6. Configure the NICs (Virtual Network Adapters) of the NIOS virtual appliance, as described in Configuring the Virtual NICs.
