Engine Deployment
This chapter provides an overview of Extreme Management Center,
ExtremeControl, and ExtremeAnalytics virtual engine deployment requirements
and provides instructions for deploying a virtual engine on a VMware® and
Hyper-V server.
Deploying the Virtual Engine on a VMware ESX
Server
Deployment Requirements
A virtual engine is a software image that runs on a virtual machine. The Extreme
Management Center, ExtremeControl, and ExtremeAnalytics virtual engines are
packaged in the .OVA file format defined by VMware and must be deployed on a
VMware ESXi™ 6.0 or 6.5 server with a vSphere™ client.
For information about the different Extreme Management Center,
ExtremeControl, and ExtremeAnalytics virtual engine configurations, see the
latest Extreme Management Center Release Notes.
Deploying the Virtual Engine
Use the following steps to deploy an Extreme Management Center,
ExtremeControl, or ExtremeAnalytics virtual engine on a VMware ESX or ESXi
server.
1. Download the Extreme Management Center, ExtremeControl, or ExtremeAnalytics
virtual engine software image to your local machine where the vSphere client is
installed and running.
To download an engine image:
1. Access the Extreme Portal at: https://extremeportal.force.com/.
2. After entering your email address and password, you are on the Support page.
3. Click the Products tab and select ExtremeManagement.

4. Click Extreme Management Center in the right-panel.
5. Select a version.
6. Download the Extreme Management Center, ExtremeControl, or
ExtremeAnalytics virtual engine (appliance) image from the appropriate
section.
2. Open the vSphere client. From the File menu, select Deploy OVF Template.
(Even though the virtual engine is distributed in .OVA file format, the
menu option refers to the alternate .OVF format.)

The Deploy OVF Template window opens.
3. In the Source panel, use the Browse button to select the engine image that you
downloaded. Click Next.
4. The OVF Template Details panel displays information about the selected image file.
Click Next to continue.

5. The End User License Agreement panel displays the Extreme Management Center
Software License Agreement. Click the Accept button. Click Next to continue.
6. In the Name and Location panel, enter a name for the virtual machine that will be
created as part of deploying the virtual engine. This name will be used in the
vSphere client’s inventory list. It does not have to be the same as the hostname of
the virtual engine. Click Next.

7. If your VMware server configuration has multiple datastores, use the Datastore panel
to select the datastore where the virtual engine is hosted. Verify that there is enough
free space available for the engine image. The Extreme Management Center engine
requires 100 GB of hard drive space and the ExtremeControl engine requires 40 GB
of hard drive space. You will need more space if you will be storing snapshots of
your virtual engine. Click Next.
Note: If your VMware server configuration has only a single datastore
you will not see this panel, but will see the Disk Format panel
described in the next step.
8. If your VMware server configuration has only a single datastore, use the Disk Format
panel to select the format in which to store the virtual machines virtual disks. The
Thick Provisioned Format is the recommended format. Click Next.

9. The Ready to Complete panel displays a summary of your selections. Review your
choices and use the Back button to return to previous screens and make any
required changes. When you are ready, click the Finish button to complete the
deployment.
10. Once the deployment is complete, open the vSphere client Inventory tree and select
the virtual engine. In the right-panel Getting Started tab, click Power on the virtual
machine.

A login prompt is displayed on the right-panel Console tab once the virtual
machine completes its boot process,
You are now ready to begin configuring the engine. Refer to the appropriate
chapter for your virtual engine configuration instructions.
lIf you are configuring an Extreme Management Center virtual engine, see Extreme
Management Center Engine Configuration.
lIf you are configuring an ExtremeControl virtual engine, see ExtremeControl Engine
Configuration.
lIf you are configuring an ExtremeAnalytics virtual engine, see ExtremeAnalytics
Engine Configuration.
Shutting Down the Engine
To properly shut down the virtual engine, enter the following command at the
login prompt in the vSphere client Console tab:
poweroff
This shuts down the engine and updates the vSphere client with the new engine
state.

Use the following steps to deploy an Extreme Management Center,
ExtremeControl, or ExtremeAnalytics virtual engine on a VMware ESX or ESXi
server.
1. Download the Extreme Management Center, ExtremeControl, or ExtremeAnalytics
virtual engine software image to your local machine where the vSphere client is
installed and running.
To download an engine image:
1. Access the Extreme Portal at: https://extremeportal.force.com/.

9. Select the radio button that corresponds to the appropriate type for your machine.
lRegister the virtual machine in-place (use the existing unique ID)—Select this
option if your virtual machine files are saved on your virtual machine in the
correct location.
lRestore the virtual machine (use the existing unique ID)—Select this option if
your virtual machine files are saved on a file share or removable drive and you
want Hyper-V to move the files to the correct location.
lCopy the virtual machine (create a new unique ID)—Select this option if you
have a set of virtual files you want to import multiple times (e.g., if you are
using them as a template for new virtual machines).
