VMware Support in Provisioning Manager
Provisioning Manager supports the VMware environment. Provisioning Manager has been tested on VMware ESX
Server version 3.5 and VMware ESX Server 3i version 3.5. To use Provisioning Manager in a VMware environment,
your virtual machine must be configured with a static MAC address.
If you need to configure a static MAC address after installation, perform the following procedure:
Note:
The following procedure applies to VMware GSX and VMware ESX prior to version 3.0. If you are running
VMware ESX 3.0 or later, you can use the Edit Settings option on the virtual machine to configure a static MAC
address.
1. Power down the VMware server.
2. On the virtual machine, remove the VMware server from the VirtualCenter inventory.
3. On the virtual machine, change the .vmx file according to the following:
●
Change the value of the ethernet0.addressType entry to static.
●
Change the value of the ethernet0.GeneratedAddress entry to ethernet0.Address.
4. Change the current MAC address of the virtual machine to a MAC address in the following range:
00:50:56:00:00:00 to 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF
5. In VirtualCenter, select a VMware ESX and select Storage.
6. In data storage locate your virtual machine.
7. Right-click the .vmx file and then select Add to inventory.
8. Power on the VMware server.
9. On the VMware server open a command prompt.
10. Enter the command ipconfig /all.
11. In the command output, locate the VMware NIC and verify that your manually assigned MAC address appears
as the MAC address for the NIC.
Cisco Unified Computing System Support
Provisioning Manager can be installed on a Cisco Unified Computing System. If you are going to install Provisioning
Manager on a Cisco Unified Computing System, make sure that the system has the latest firmware installed.
How to Assure a Clean Install
●
Always make sure you turn off all virus checkers before installing Cisco Unified Provisioning Manager. This is
one of the most common reasons for failed installs.
●
You must exclude the following from virus scanning:
◦
The pgsql folder (if you selected the default location during installation, it is C:\CUPM\pgsql).
◦
The postmaster.exe file (located in the CUPM\pgsql\bin folder).
●
Check that the password policy in Windows is not set to eight characters minimum. Change to five characters
if possible. If not, do an advanced install and specify passwords that meet the minimum password length.
●
The root directory on the server you install should have access to the group Users.
