> Install Pano VDS with ESXi 3.5 without VirtualCenter
> Pano Logic recognizes that users with small deployments might not have the budget for VirtualCenter. You can install Pano VDS without using VirtualCenter. However, the limitation of this deployment is that you can only create one collection since there is no folder structure without VirtualCenter. Afterward, in Virtualization Configuration, connect to the ESX 3i host directly instead of using VirtualCenter.
> To deploy on ESXi 3.5

> 1. | Enable ssh access to ESX3i server. Enable Secure Connections.

> 2. | Upload and extract the Pano Manager Virtual Machine:

> a. | Connect to the ESX 3i host through VI client.

> b. | Click a datastore and browse it. You can upload the Pano Manager VM to the host by clicking the upload icon. The tar utility inside ESX 3i does not work. You need get another utility from http://download.panologic.com/Tools/.

> 3. | Download panotar to your desktop, then upload it to ESX 3i the same way you did above.

> 4. | Run the following command on that file to open all permissions:

> # chmod panotar to 777

> 5. | Ssh to ESX 3i:

> # ssh ESX_Server_Hostname

> 6. | Type the following command:

> # ./panotar -xzvf PanoManagementServer-xxx.tar.gz

> 7. | Simply continue with the deployment as you would any deployment. Go to (Start Here) Deploy Pano VDS.
