The following are required to install the vNIOS virtual appliance using XenProject.org hypervisor:
- The vNIOS software package. You can download the vNIOS software from the Infoblox Technical Support site. To download the software, you must have a valid login account on the Infoblox Support site. Register your product at https://support.infoblox.com if you do not already have an account. The vNIOS software package consists of the following:
- An installer file (.bundle) that store the contents of the hard disk drive of the vNIOS appliance. Ensure that you download the correct file. For virtual appliances with a 55 GB disk, download the file that has the extension 55G-100.bundle. For all other models, download the file with an extension that corresponds to the appliance model number. For example, for IB-VM-1050 with a 120 GB disk, download the file that has the extension 120G-1050.bundle. For information about the vNIOS appliance models on Citrix Xen, see Table 1.1 on page 9.
- You can deploy the vNIOS virtual appliance from a remote web server or a local file system accessible from your management system.
