After you've installed the AWS Elemental Conductor File nodes, perform these steps on each individual blade that you're adding to the cluster in order to deploy a VM and install the AWS Elemental Server worker software.

1. Start the VMware vSphere client and choose the option that lets you run the OVF Deploy wizard.

1. Choose **Finish**. The OVA is installed, the guest is created, and AWS Elemental Conductor File is installed on that guest with the eth0 configured as specified.

1. Before proceeding, take a snapshot of the VM, as described in the VMware vSphere help text.

1. When you've finished installing, enter the hostname of the worker node into a web browser and make sure that the web interface appears.

1. Repeat these steps for each worker node.
