Context Directory Agent VM Requirements

[Tarik Admani]

The CDA installation guide has a few undocumented issues around the vmware requirements. I have ran into issues that are documented on the forums such as the scsi controller and the nic settings.

here is a thread of the lsi controller that must be selected for the CDA installation to run -

Also the nic adapter is not detected if I choose to use anything other than flexible. Is this a bug in CDA?

Thanks,

It is documented to use CentOS 4/5/6 32-bit...

That OS defaults to Flexible nic and LSI Logic Parallel on vSphere 5.0...

Ken,

Thanks for your help. My customer has other nics that they build their virtual machines and it was a little challenging in understanding if the flexbile adapter must be selected since the documentation only covers the OS used for the install.

Thanks,
