DPX Master Server

The DPX Master Server is deployed as an Open Virtualization Format (OVF) template in a VMware environment. The recommended method for installing DPX Client and OSS is to download an .ISO file from the MySupport customer service website, mount the .ISO at a shared network location, open the .ISO file, and launch the appropriate installer. If an .ISO image is not suitable for you, request physical DVDs from the Catalogic Software Data Protection Technical Support.
