The Plixer FlowPro virtual appliance for KVM is provided as an all-in-one OVA template to streamline the deployment process.

Importing the virtual machine

To deploy the Plixer FlowPro virtual appliance in KVM, follow these steps:

1. Contact Plixer Technical Support and use the link they provide to download the latest KVM virtual appliance package:

   curl -k -o PACKAGE_FILENAME.tar.gz https://files.plixer.com/PACKAGE_PATH/PACKAGE_FILENAME.tar.gz
   

2. Create a directory for the install:

   mkdir /kvm/flowpro
   

3. Extract the contents of the package to the new directory:

   sudo tar xvzf PACKAGE_FILENAME.tar.gz -C /kvm/flowpro/
   

4. Run the installation script in the new directory:

   cd /kvm/flowpro/PACKAGE_FILENAME
   sudo ./deploy-flowpro.sh
   

5. Wait for the confirmation that the virtual machine has been created from the image.

After the Plixer FlowPro virtual machine has been created, proceed configuring the appliance.
