Management Assistant Guide document about vMA deployment on VMware ESXi.
The installer will guide users in completing the installation. Refer to Installation on Text Mode section to follow
the same steps to complete installation. The installer requires root permission to initiate the installation
procedure. Mount CD by running mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom as a root user.(/dev/cdrom is
the CD drive and /mnt/cdrom will be the mount point.). Browse the CD drive and find the installer in the
/Software/Linux folder. Initiate an installation procedure by running the ./ppbe-linux-x86_64.sh command.
