The Pano Manager VM can run on any ESX host:If you have not already installed your VMware Infrastructure, follow the installation instructions provided by VMware. Once you have performed a basic installation of VMware ESX Server 3.x and VMware VirtualCenter, you can install the Pano Manager.In the following procedure, the PanoManagerVM-version.tar.gz file is the Pano Manager VM itself. The Pano Manager VM has the Pano Manager pre-installed.

2. Copy the PanoManagerVM* file to the ESX host:
a. From a Windows computer, copy the PanoManagerVM-version.tar.gz file from the Pano media disk to your desktop, or download the package to a local file system (a file share).Do not extract the file on your desktop or local file system. Extract the file on the Pano Manager VM only.
b. Use the VMware console or initiate a secure connection to connect to the ESX host on which you intend to load the Pano Manager.
