Installing the JetPatch OVA

If you haven't already, download the JetPatch OVA file and Virtual Appliance Console Credentials.

• The download file contains the JetPatch Agent Manager for Azure Site Recovery, pre-installed on a CentOS 7.7 server. The OVA is about 2.4GB.
• If you are using the vSphere desktop client, use File->Deploy OVF Template (as detailed below). Or, if you are using VMware vSphere web client, follow these instructions.

1. Import the virtual appliance:
   • In your vSphere client, from the File menu, select Deploy OVF Template:

     

   • Type or browse to the location of the provided OVA, and click Next:

     

   • Continue through the wizard with the appropriate settings for your environment.  The virtual appliance automatically allocates a 16GB disk for itself, but if you select Thin Provisioned further on in the wizard, the virtual appliance initially only takes up less than 4B.
2. It's recommended to log into the VM with SSH and change the default root password. Log in as root, and you will be asked to re-enter and then change the password immediately.
