NAGIOS xi Image Installation

Post by desmondlewissmith »

Is there documentation anywhere on where and how to install the VM image I downloaded for NAGIOS xi. I'm not really a big VMware guy, but I'm wanting to install the image instead of building a VM from scratch. From what I see, from the ESX server I need to "import virtual appliance". Do I copy it somewhere specifically first? Do I point to the current location and it copies over by itself?

Thanks in advance for help on these dumb questions.

I figured it out, I had to use the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client to import the VM.

Glad to see you got it sorted out.

For completeness the installation options section of the Administrative guide has a section on this
