Prerequisites for Catalogic vStor Virtual Appliance for VMware

Before deploying to the VMware host, ensure you have the following:

• The correct VMware template

• Network information and VMware host information

• Either an available static IP address to use, or access to DHCP.

If performing an installation to a VMware virtual machine, the virtual disk UUIDs must be visible to the operating system in order for vStor to detect the disks and use them in a storage pool. Edit the VM settings, add the advanced configuration parameter disk.enableUUID and set its value to TRUE.
