Getting Virtual Appliance Files of Catalogic DPX Master Server

You can deploy the Catalogic DPX Master Server on either types of virtual environments:

  • VMware environment

    Download the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) template of the Catalogic DPX Master Server from the Catalogic Software MySupport website (mysupport.catalogicsoftware.com) and deploy the virtual appliance on the VMware environment.

Tip. You can install the Catalogic DPX Plug-In for VMware vSphere Client and operate Catalogic DPX from VMware vSphere Client on your browser.

  • Microsoft Hyper-V environment

    Download the installation file of the Catalogic DPX Master Server for Microsoft Hyper-V and install the program on the Microsoft Hyper-V environment.

The recommended method for installing the Catalogic DPX Client and Catalogic Open Storage Server (OSS) is to download the ISO file from the Catalogic MySupport website, mount the ISO at a shared network location, open the ISO file, and launch the appropriate installer.

Take the following steps to get the OVA file for VMware, installer for Microsoft Hyper-V, or ISO image file:

  1. Visit the Catalogic MySupport website.

  2. Go to the download page for the Catalogic DPX release you are installing.

  3. Locate the OVA file for VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V installer, or the appropriate ISO image for your operating system.

  4. Download the OVA file for VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V installer, or ISO image.

If using an ISO image to install the Catalogic DPX Client application, Catalogic DPX Open Storage Server (OSS), or the Catalogic virtualization proxy, set up the installer in one of the following ways:

  • For Microsoft Windows, use an appropriate tool to extract the installer from the ISO image to a network share accessible to the machine on to which you are installing the software.

  • For UNIX or Linux installations, mount the ISO image to the file system. Either extract the necessary installer and share or distribute it as needed, or else share the ISO’s mount point for other UNIX or Linux machines to access the installer.

  • Burn a DVD from the ISO image and insert the DVD into a DVD drive on the machine on to which you are installing the software.

If you are using the VMware environment, you can copy the ISO image files for Catalogic DPX to a common shared datastore where VMs can attach to the ISOs for use.
