> Install Pano Manager VM on VMware Virtual Infrastructure
> The Pano Manager is delivered as a virtual appliance. This means that the Pano Manager runs within a virtual machine hosted on your virtual infrastructure. The Pano Manager VM can run on any ESX host:
> To install Pano Manager VM on VMware VI3:
> Before You Begin:
> 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.

> 1. | Retrieve the PanoManagerVM* file from either the Pano Logic DVD, or Pano Logic’s FTP site.

> 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.

> c. | Create a working directory on the Pano Manager VM and into which the compressed file can be copied. For example:

> # cd /vmfs/volumes/storage1 # mkdir PanoMS-tz

> By default, VMware aliases storage1 to your initial storage. So, when you go to the volumes directory, this alias appears as ESXhost:storage1. You cannot delete this alias, nor can you create a directory with the same name.

> a. | Copy the PanoManagerVM-version.tar.gz file from your desktop or local file system to the working directory that you just created.

> # scp PanoManagerVM-version.tar.gz root@esxhost:/vmfs/volumes/storage1/PanoMS-gz/

> 3. | On the Pano Manager VM, extract the PanoManagerVM* file in the /vmfs/volumes/storage1/PanoMS-tz/ directory.

> Do not extract the file on your desktop or local file system. Extract the file on the Pano Manager VM only.
> For example:

> # tar -xzvf PanoManagerVM-version.tar.gz

> The extraction process typically takes 5-10 minutes and the resulting files total about 15GB.

> 4. | Add the Pano Manager to the inventory:

> a. | Use the VMware Infrastructure Client to connect to the ESX host.

> b. | In the left browse pane, click on the ESX host.

> c. | Click the Configuration tab and in the left pane, select Storage to navigate to the datastore that contains the copied files (in this example Storage1 is the datastore).

> d. | Right-click on the datastore, then select Browse.

> e. | Browse to the directory that contains the Pano Manager VM file: /vmfs/volumes/storage1/PanoMS-tz.

> f. | Right-click on the PanoManagerVM.vmx and select Add to inventory. Follow the on-screen prompts.

> 5. | Power on the Pano Manager.

> Next Step(s): Do the following

> 1. | Change Superuser Password.

> 2. | Change Web Admin Account Password.

> 3. | Change Pano Manager VM’s Port Group.
