Overview

You can deploy the Junos Space Virtual Appliance *.ova file on a VMware ESXi server version 5.5, 6.0, or 6.5. Basic I have ESXi 6.7 but into installation step maybe I can modify to 6.0.

After the Junos Space Virtual Appliance is deployed, you can use the VMware vSphere client or Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to connect to the VMware ESXi server and configure the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.

The minimum hardware requirements for deploying a Junos Space Virtual Appliance are as follows: 

• one core of the processor
• 64-bit quad processor with a clock speed of at least 2.66 GHz
• Four virtual CPUs
• 1-Gbps network
• 8193 MB of RAM
• 500-GB hard disk
• Configure Open VM tools (see Starting Open VM Tools in Junos Space Platform for details.)
  • Is possible and OK to use VMware Tools? NOTE: Junos Space Network Management Platform is not certified to be used with VMware tools.
  • Install it in CentOS? https://www.debiantutorials.com/how-to-install-open-vm-tools-open-virtual-machine-tools/
