Deploy on VMware

Download the OVA file from this URL: https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/atx.discovery.collector.bundle/releases/latest/AWS-Transform-discovery-tool.ova

Sign in to vCenter as a VMware administrator.

Use one of these ways to install the OVA file:

1. Use the UI: Choose File, choose Deploy OVF Template, select the discovery tool OVA file you downloaded in step 1, and then complete the wizard. Ensure the proxy settings in the server management dashboard are configured correctly.

2. Use the command line: To install the discovery tool OVA file from the command line, download and use the VMware Open Virtualization Format Tool (ovftool). To download ovftool, select a release from the OVF Tool Documentation page. This is an example of using the ovftool command line tool to install the discovery tool OVA file.

   ovftool --acceptAllEulas --name='discovery tool' --datastore=datastore1 -dm=thin AWS-Transform-discovery-tool.ova 'vi://username:password@vcenterurl/Datacenter/host/esxi/'

   Descriptions of the replaceable values in the example:

   • The name is the name that you want to use for your discovery tool VM.

   • The datastore is the name of the datastore in your vCenter.

   • The OVA file name is the name of the downloaded discovery tool OVA file.

   • The username/password are your vCenter credentials.

   • The vcenterurl is the URL of your vCenter.

   • The vi path is the path to your VMware ESXi host.

Locate the deployed discovery tool in your vCenter. Right-click the VM, and then choose Power, Power On.

After a few minutes, the IP address of the discovery tool displays in vCenter. You use this IP address to connect to the discovery tool.
