If your ESXi environment is not able to run multi VM vApps then you will need to follow
these instructions. If you can deploy they multi-VM vApp then do, it is a lot less work.
The lab is distributed as a single ova file, this contains the NAS VM. Deploy the ova and
power on the NAS VM.
Once the NAS has booted create a new NFS datastore pointing to the Build share, server
192.168.199.7 and Folder /mnt/LABVOL/Build as shown below
Once the datastore is created use the vSphere Client datastore browser and browse to
\Automate\ShellVMs where you will find the remaining lab VM folders. The VMs must not
be run from this location as they won't perform well and the datastore will quickly run out of
space.
If you have vCenter then register each VM then migrate it to its proper datastore before you
power it on. If you do not have vCenter you will need to use the datastore browser to copy the
VMs from the Lab_NFS datastore before registering the VMs. The copy takes quite a while
as it appears not to respect the thin provisioned disks.
Finally the VMs need to have their CDROM and floppy drives attached to media images.
You may need to copy the boot floppy images from the Build share, in
\Automate\BootFloppies to another datastore. The floppy images match the VM names,
apart from vCloud which doesn't need a floppy.
