What do I need to prepare for the first installation of OnPrem?

Holm Security OnPrem is delivered as virtual machine (VM) images in OVA file format.  

Supported platforms: VMWare vSphere version 6.5 or greater.

Preparations

Items to consider when deploying the OVA images: 

• Disk size on the virtual machines needs to be adjusted to correct size before they are booted for the first time
• The Compatibility sometimes needs to be upgraded on the VM to work: https://support.holmsecurity.com/knowledge/how-do-i-solve-issues-with-the-guest-operating-system-in-vmware-6.5
• Sometimes the guest operation system needs to be set on the VM to Other Linux 64bit in order for the VM to boot
• Confirm external communication is opened according to the documentation
• Make sure information such as DNS, NTP, Network IP and SMTP are collected and ready
• Confirm correct network interface is attached to the VM

Information to Holm Security

Resources from Holm Security
