ASM “Packaging”

• ASM is an appliance in 2 formats: – OVF for deployment on ESX VMs

– VHD for Deployment of Hyper-V VMs

• There is no real installation, just a VM deployment

• Once the appliance is deployed, only basic configuration is required – IP address on the Hypervisor Management network

– Hostname (/etc/hosts)

– NTP Server
