Cisco Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 Guide De Montage

Follow the instructions in the Related Topics to install the Prime Infrastructure virtual appliance. 

This Quick Start Guide covers the virtual appliance installation only. For information on installing the Prime Infrastructure 
physical appliance, see the 

Before installing the Prime Infrastructure virtual appliance, you must ensure that:

VMware ESXi is installed and configured on the machine that you plan to use as the Prime Infrastructure server. See the 

 for information on setting up and configuring a VMware host. If you are using VMware ESX 5.5, 

you must use vSphere Client or ESX5.5U2 Client to manage the virtual machine. Do not edit the virtual machine settings 
and do not extend or manually add additional disks to the configuration.

The installed VMware ESXi host is reachable.

See the VMware documentation on how to install the VMware vSphere Client. After the virtual host is available on the 
network, you can browse to its IP address to display a web-based interface from which you can install the VMware vSphere 
Client. 

The Prime Infrastructure OVA is saved to the same machine where your VMware vSphere Client is installed. Depending on 
your arrangement with Cisco, you may download the OVA file from Cisco.com or use your Cisco-supplied installation 
media.

Make sure that all of the system requirements are met before you deploy the OVA. Review the sections 

and

. 

Launch your VMware vSphere Client and connect to the ESXi host or vCenter server.

Choose File > Deploy OVF Template.

Click Browse to access the location where you have saved the OVA file on your local machine, then click Next.

Verify the details on the OVF template details page, then click Next.

In the End User License Agreement window, click Accept, then click Next.

In the Name and Location window, specify:

In the Name field, enter the name of the new virtual machine.

In the Inventory Location area, select the appropriate folder. (If the vSphere Client is connected directly to an ESXi 
host, this option does not appear.)

Click Next. 

In the Deployment Configuration window, select the desired configuration (for example, Express, Standard, 
Professional, etc.) and view the resources required for the configuration you selected. 

We recommend that you reserve 100% of CPU and memory resources for optimal performance.
