Step 2: Deploying the OVF template

1. Start the vSphere Client and log on to the ESX(i) server.
2. On the File menu, point to Deploy OVF Template. Follow the Deploy OVF Template wizard.

   Tip. In VMware Infrastructure, point to Virtual Appliance, and then click Import. Follow the Import Virtual Appliance wizard.

3. In Source, select Deploy from File, and then specify the path to the virtual appliance's OVF package—normally: %ProgramFiles%\Acronis\ESXAppliance.
4. Review the OVF Template Details and click Next.
5. In Name and Location, type the name for the appliance or leave the default name AcronisESXAppliance.
6. In Network mapping, select the bridged mode for the network adapter.
7. In Datastore, leave the default datastore unless it does not have enough space for the virtual appliance. In this case, select another datastore. Skip this step if there is only one datastore on the server.
8. Review the summary and then click Finish. After the successful deployment is reported, close the progress window.
