Import Bitdefender Control Center Virtual Appliance
WARNING:
Currently Internet Explorer mishandles .OVA files. The .OVA format is in fact a .TAR zip format. Internet
Explorer recognizes that the file is of an archive format, and automatically renames the file extension from
.OVA to .TAR. To resolve this issue simply rename the extension. At the time of writing we understand that
only Internet Explorer treats .OVA files in this way.
In our case we contacted Bitdefender to gain access to their implementation. We
cannot speak for how other vendors work with vShield as this is merely an
introduction to the process. With the Bitdefender it ships as an .OVA that needs
to be imported into vCenter – and process is very similar to import of the
vShield .OVA.
There aren’t special requirements to be met during the import process but
needless to say it should be on your management network so it can
communicate to the vShield environment.
There four roles for the appliance (database server, update server, web console,
and communication server) and if you wish you can deploy a virtual appliance
allow the appliance to run all four, or configure it to communicate to a dedicated
update and database server.
1. At first boot the appliance will prompt you to reset the “bdadmin”
account password.
2. In our case for simplicity will configure the appliance to carry all the roles.
