Install an ACE Management Server Appliance
The ACE Management Server appliance is a self‐contained, preinstalled, and
preconfigured ACE Management Server packaged with a small operating system in a
virtual machine. Although the appliance is adequate for test environments, VMware
recommends that you do not use it in production environments.
Before you begin, make sure the clock is synchronized and the required ports are
available, as described in "Preparing for Installation" on page 25.
To install an ACE Management Server appliance
1
Download the .zip file for the appliance from the VMware Web site and save the
file on the system that is to host the server.
2
Extract the files to the directory where the server is to be located.
3
Start Workstation, choose File > Open to open, and select the ams_appliance.vmx
file.
4
Click the Power On button to start the virtual appliance.
5
At the password prompt, enter a password and confirm it.
This password is used for both root and network accounts. Make a note of this
password so that you can use it for later appliance management operations from
the console and the Web.
The appliance configures its network by using DHCP.
