Configure Active Fabric Manager as a Virtual

Appliance

You can deploy the Active Fabric Manager (AFM) as virtual appliance on a VMware® ESX® virtual machine. In this

guide, you learn how to configure the AFM as a virtual appliance. The instructions in this document assume you have

already installed and configured an ESX host where you plan to run AFM. For additional information about installing and

configuring the ESX virtual host machine, consult the VMware documentation.

NOTE: To deploy the AFM using the RPM installation instead of the OVF, see RPM Installation.

To configure AFM as a virtual appliance:

1. Review the Prerequisites

2. Deploy the OVF Template

3. Start the AFM VM

4. Manage the AFM Virtual Appliance

5. Perform Initial Configuration

Prerequisites

NOTE: If you are using the AFM VM as a syslog and a TFTP or FTP server, you do not need to gather the following

information.

Before you begin, gather the following information:

• Obtain your local or remote DHCP information.

• Define whether you want to use a Telnet or SSH session within the fabric

• Obtain the SNMP community string. By default, it is private for set and public for get.

• Syslog IP addresses — IP address of remote syslog server.

• TFTP or FTP server address — IP address of TFTP or FTP server for the Dell Networking Operating System FTOS

software images and configuration files during bare metal provisioning (BMP). If you are using an FTP server, obtain

the user name and password.

• If you are using the Active Link Settings option, gather the following OMNM server information:

– OMNM server IP address

– Communication protocol (HTTP or HTTPS)

– User name and password

See OMNM Requirements.
