The installation process of the Extended DMS has been redesigned. If you are looking for information in relation to the old DMS installation process. please follow the pages marked "DEPRECATED" in the hierarchy. Some information in these pages may be useful in case of issues with the setup, however, the following process should be complete to get your DMS installation up and running smoothly:

  1. To start with, please download our pre-configured .ova image for VMware ESXI 5.5+ environments. Similar templates for virtualization platforms may be available on request.

  2. Create a VM using the image, start up and perform the necessary network base settings (default is DHCP which is generally unsuitable for a DMS server appliance). To make this an easy exercise, please install the GUI tool "nmtui" using the command:

    yum install NetworkManager-tui

    Following installation, you can easily set your network settings by running "nmtui". It is suggested that you set your network to a static IP. Remember to also set addresses of your internal DNS server. 

    After you set your network settings as required, please restart the network service:

    systemctl restart network.service

    Your network is now ready to use with the parameters you set.

  3. Assign a FQDN to the static IP of your DMS server in your DNS server.

  4. Make sure that /etc/timezone file exists and locale is set appropriately (eg. Europe/Berlin)
  5. From thereon, you should be able to continue with our auto-deploy technology: Click here to continue.
