Deploying the Cisco CSR 1000v OVA to the VM
You can use the provided CSR 1000v OVA file package to deploy the Cisco CSR 1000v to the VM. The
OVA package includes an OVF file that contains a default VM configuration based on a Cisco IOS XE release
and the supported hypervisor. (See the "Guidelines and Limitations" section of the installation configuration
that is included in the OVA file.)
The OVA can be deployed using VMware vSphere or COT (Common OVF Tool).

Note The Citrix XenServer, KVM and Microsoft Hyper-V implementations do not support deploying the VM
using the .ova file. You must manually install the VM using the .iso file.

To change to the 1 or 2 virtual CPU configuration, first deploy the OVA template, and then use vSphere
to change the virtual CPU configuration and the required RAM allocation.
