This chapter provides information about how to install and deploy the NetMRI virtual appliance on a VMware Infrastructure virtual machine. Since VMware installation parameters and hardware configurations vary, this chapter is meant as a guide to configurations that have worked well for NetMRI installations. It addresses the following deployment scenarios:

  • Running NetMRI in a VMware Infrastructure.

  • Moving NetMRI from a physical NetMRI appliance to a VMware Infrastructure.

Note
We do not recommend deploying NetMRI appliances with any kind of hardware-resource sharing enabled. NetMRI should have dedicated hardware resources. This approach ensures configuration and performance consistency across all NetMRI appliances.

This chapter provides prerequisites and procedures to successfully complete the following:

  • Prepare the VMware Infrastructure for a NetMRI installation.

  • Install and configure the NetMRI virtual appliance.

  • Deploy NetMRI virtual appliance on OpenStack.

While Infoblox has made the deployment of NetMRI as a virtual appliance as simple as possible by including the OS, patches, and all required tools, you still need to configure the VM server based on your business requirements. For information about VMware, refer to the official VMware documentation at http://www.vmware.com/.
