Important: Do not modify the system resources to create a virtual CPU

(VCPU) in addition to the two CPUs already allotted to the virtual appliance.

Virtual networkinterfaces

1

Note: If the virtual appliance is installed on ESX 3.5 or ESXi 3.5, you caninstall a maximum of 4 virtual network interfaces. If the virtual appliance isinstalled on ESX 4.0, the maximum is 10.

Disk space 20 GB

Note: This is in addition to any disk requirements for the hypervisor.

Note: For production use of NetScaler virtual appliance, the full memory allocation must bereserved. CPU cycles (in MHz) equal to at least the speed of one CPU core of the ESX shouldalso be reserved.

VMware vSphere Client 4.0 System Requirements

VMware vSphere is a client application that can run on Windows and Linux operating systems. Itcannot run on the same machine as the VMware ESX server. The following table describes theminimum system requirements.

Table 3. Minimum System Requirements for VMware vSphere Client Installation

Component Requirement

Operating system For detailed requirements from VMware, search for the "vSphereCompatibility Matrixes" PDF file at http://kb.vmware.com/. 

CPU 750 megahertz (MHz); 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster recommended

RAM 1 GB; 2 GB recommended

Network Interface

Card (NIC)

100 Mbps or faster NIC

For information about installing vSphere client 4.0, see http://www.vmware.com/. 

Note: When you connect the vSphere client 4.0 to ESX 3.5, the vSphere client downgrades toVMware Infrastructure (VI) client version 2.5, which is the only version that is compatible with ESX3.5.

OVF Tool 1.0 System Requirements

OVF Tool is a client application that can run on Windows and Linux systems. It cannot run on thesame machine as the VMware ESX server. You need to use VMware OVF Tool version 1.0 forinstalling virtual appliances on ESX 3.5. The following table describes the minimum systemrequirements.

100 Mbps or faster NIC

For information about installing OVF, search for the "OVF Tool User Guide" PDF fileat http://kb.vmware.com/. 

Downloading the NetScaler virtual appliance Setup Files

The NetScaler virtual appliance setup package for VMware ESX follows the Open Virtual Machine(OVF) format standard. You can download the files from MyCitrix.com. You need a My Citrixaccount to log on. If you do not have a My Citrix account, access the home pageat http://www.mycitrix.com, click the New Users link, and follow the instructions to create a newMy Citrix account.

Once logged on, navigate the following path from the My Citrix home page:

MyCitrix.com > Downloads > NetScaler > Virtual Appliances.

Copy the following files to a workstation on the same network as the ESX server. Copy all threefiles into the same folder.

  NSVPX-ESX-<release number>-<build number>-disk1.vmdk (for example, NSVPX-ESX-9.3-39.8-disk1.vmdk)

  NSVPX-ESX-<release number>-<build number>.ovf (for example, NSVPX-ESX-9.3-39.8.ovf)

  NSVPX-ESX-<release number>-<build number>.mf (for example, NSVPX-ESX-9.3-39.8.mf)

Labeling the Physical Network Ports of VMware ESX

Before installing a NetScaler virtual appliance, label of all the interfaces that you plan to assign tovirtual appliances, in a unique format. Citrix recommends the following format: NS_NIC_1_1,NS_NIC_1_2, and so on. In large deployments, labeling in a unique format helps in quicklyidentifying the interfaces that are allocated to the NetScaler virtual appliance among otherinterfaces used by other virtual machines, such as Windows and Linux. Such labeling is especiallyimportant when different types of virtual machines share the same interfaces.

To label the physical network ports of VMware ESX server  

1. Log on to the VMware ESX server by using the vSphere client.

2. On the vSphere client, select the Configuration tab, and then click Networking.

3. At the top-right corner, click Add Networking.

4. In the Add Network Wizard, for Connection Type, select Virtual Machine, and thenclick Next.

5. Scroll through the list of vSwitch physical adapters, and choose the physical port that willmap to interface 1/1 on the virtual appliances.

6. Enter NS_NIC_1_1 as the name of the vSwitch that will be associated with interface 1/1 ofthe virtual appliances.

7. Click Next to finish the vSwitch creation. Repeat the procedure, beginning with step 2, toadd any additional interfaces to be used by your virtual appliances. Label the interfacessequentially, in the correct format (for example, NS_NIC_1_2).

Installing NetScaler Virtual Appliances on

VMware ESX 4.0, 5.0, or 5.1 

 After you have installed and configured VMware ESX 4.0, 5.0, or 5.1, you can use the VMwarevSphere client to install virtual appliances on the VMware ESX. The number of virtual appliancesthat you can install depends on the amount of memory available on the hardware that is running

VMware ESX.

To install NetScaler virtual appliances on VMwareESX 4.0, 5.0, or 5.1 by using VMware vSphere Client

1. Start the VMware vSphere client on your workstation.

2. In the IP address / Name text box, type the IP address of the VMware ESX server that you want toconnect to.

3. In the User Name and Password text boxes, type the administrator credentials, and thenclick Login.

4. On the File menu, click Deploy OVF Template.

5. In the Deploy OVF Template dialog box, in Deploy from file, browse to the location at which yousaved the NetScaler virtual appliance setup files, select the .ovf file, and click Next.

6. Map the networks shown in the virtual appliance OVF template to the networks that you configuredon the ESX host. Click Next to start installing a virtual appliance on VMware ESX. When installationis complete, a pop-up window informs you of the successful installation.

7. You are now ready to start the NetScaler virtual appliance. In the navigation pane, selectthe NetScaler virtual appliance that you have just installed and, from the right-click menu,select Power On. Click the Console tab to emulate a console port.

8. If you want to install another virtual appliance, repeat steps 4 through 6.

Installing NetScaler Virtual Appliances on

VMware ESX 3.5 

To install virtual appliances on ESX 3.5, you need to use the VMware OVF tool, version 1.0. Thenumber of virtual appliances that you can install depends on the amount of memory available onthe hardware that is running VMware ESX. After installation, you can use the VMwareInfrastructure (VI) client 2.5 to manage the virtual appliances on VMware ESX version 3.5.

Note: You cannot use version 4.0 of the vSphere client for installing virtual appliances on ESX 3.5.If you connect the vSphere 4.0 client to ESX 3.5, the vSphere client downgrades to VI client

version 2.5, which supports only the OVF 0.9 standard. The NetScaler virtual appliance installationpackage is based on the OVF 1.0.

To install NetScaler virtual appliances on VMware ESX 3.5 byusing the VMware OVF Tool

1. On your workstation, open the command-line interface and execute the following command:

ovftool <path of the NetScaler VPX OVF file>vi://<Username>:<Password>@<IP address of the ESX server>  

For example, in Windows command shell, type:

ovftool c:/NetScalerVPX vi://root:free@<10.217.20.14>  

2. When the OVF tool has installed the virtual appliances on the ESX server, use the VI clientto log on to the VMware ESX server on which you performed the installation.

3. In the navigation pane, right-click a virtual appliance that you want to enable, and thenclick Power On. Repeat this for each virtual appliance you want to enable.

4. Click the Console tab to emulate a console port.
