The Plixer Scrutinizer virtual appliance must be deployed in KVM 16 or higher.

Deploying the KVM virtual appliance

  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/scrutinizer_vm/

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

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

  4. Run the installation script in the new directory:

    cd /kvm/scrutinizer_vm/PACKAGE_FILENAME
sudo ./install-kvm-scrut.sh

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

After the Plixer Scrutinizer virtual machine has been created, log in using the command virsh console Scrutinizer with the credentials plixer:scrutinizer and proceed with the basic configuration process.
