Step 2 – Launch the Virtual Appliance on KVM

  1. Open the Virtual Machine Manager on your Linux system running KVM and click Create a new virtual machine.

  2. In the first step of the wizard, choose Import existing disk image.

  3. Provide the existing storage path to your forwarder-va.qcow2. Set the OS type to Linux and click Forward.

  4. Set the memory and CPU settings to at least 1 CPU and 1 GB RAM and click Forward.

  5. In the last step of the wizard, select Customize configuration before install and then click Finish.

  6. Select Add Hardware.
  7. Select Storage, add or create custom storage, add the dynamic disk, and then click Finish.

    You should then see two disks.

  8. Click Begin installation to create the VA.

  9. If your network supports DHCP, the VA will get auto-configured with a DHCP IP address and will register to Umbrella using this IP. You can configure the VA on KVM through two mechanisms:

    • Press Ctrl+B on the VA console and entering the Configuration mode.

      Or

    • Initiate an SSH connection to the DHCP IP—this IP can be retrieved in Secure Access—and enter Configuration mode.

You can now configure the VA. For information about configuring VAs, see Configure Virtual Appliances.
