Virtual Edition offered in both Production and Non-Production versions
Non-Production version can be used in test and development only
All optional features (except TIBCO) are included by default in the Non-Production
version
Optional features must be purchased separately for the Production version
Firmware media provided as an OVA file for appliance deployment and scrypt4 files to
upgrade the firmware version or fix pack level
New scrypt4 tools are provided to activate/deactivate optional features

Deploying a DataPower virtual appliance, steps 1-5

File->Deploy OVF Template

WebSphere DataPower V5.0.0 Virtual Edition

2012 IBM Corporation

To deploy a DataPower virtual appliance, you need to perform the steps described on this slide and
the next few slides. First, in the VMware vSphere client, select the virtual machine that you want to
create the virtual appliance on. Click File > Deploy OVF template. Then browse to the location of
the .ova file and click Next. Verify the OVF template details and click Next. Specify the name of the
virtual appliance and click Next.

Next you need to select the deployment configuration. The OVF Template comes with three
configurations. The Small configuration has four CPUs, four gigabytes of RAM and four network
interface controllers. The Standard configuration has eight CPUs, eight gigabytes of RAM and four
network interface controllers. The Enterprise configuration has 16 CPUs, 96 gigabytes of RAM and
four network interface controllers. Once you have chosen the configuration that is appropriate for
your deployment, then click Next.

Deploying a DataPower virtual appliance, step 7

Format the virtual disk, selecting thick or thin provisioning

Next you need to select the format for the virtual disks. Thick provisioning allocates all the disk
space at the beginning. Thin provisioning allocates minimal disk space and allows it to grow as
needed, up to the configured size, after deployment. Once you have chosen the format, click Next.

Deploying a DataPower virtual appliance, step 8

Map network interfaces

Next you need to configure the network of the virtual appliance. This step assumes that you
previously created virtual switches for handling the traffic from guests. See the VMware vSphere
Client documentation for information on creating a virtual switch.
Select the destination network from the list. Remember that each destination network is connected
to one or more vSwitches through the physical NICs of the ESX or ESXi server. Once you have
selected the destination network, click Next.

When the deployment is complete, then power on the appliance and go to the Console tab. From
there, initialize the virtual appliance the same as you would a physical appliance.
