Import the OVA and configure a static IP address

This task is for
CylanceON-PREM
instances that need to use a static IP address.
This example procedure uses the
VMware vSphere
Client to import the OVA and configure a static IP address. If you are using
VMware ESXi
6.7 or higher, or are using
VMware ESXi
6.5 managed by vCenter Server 5.1 or higher, you can use the following procedure or the
VMware
OVF tool to import the OVA and configure a static IP address. If you are using a stand-alone version of
VMware ESXi
6.5, the Customize Template screen in this procedure is not displayed, so you will need to use the
VMware
OVF Tool to import the OVA and configure a static IP address. For more information about using the VMware OVF Tool, see Configure static IP using the OVF tool
