You can install XCO using
OVA.
Before you begin
- Ensure that you have an
understanding of the hypervisor environment, including converting the embedded
disk image to a suitable format.
- The XCO OVA image does not
support cloud-init, or provisioning the VM with a user and network information
via the user interface. Ensure that you are aware of the information on DNS,
network address, subnet mask, and gateway requirements to assign to the VM.
- Ensure that the selected address
complies with the general IP address requirements.
Note
OVA will operate XCO in dual IP stack mode. If any IP address is missing from the
IP stack, a default IP address will be utilized.
