Import the appliance

After completing the tasks in Before deploying the appliance, you are ready to import the appliance ZIP into Deep Security Manager.

As an alternative to importing the appliance ZIP, you can place the OVF file at a URL location to make it faster for NSX to download. For details, see Configure the appliance OVF location.

1. Go to:

   https://help.deepsecurity.trendmicro.com/software.html

2. Download the Deep Security Virtual Appliance package. Check the version requirements in system requirements.

   You can import multiple versions of the appliance. The manager will choose the newest package.

3. On Deep Security Manager, go to Administration > Updates > Software > Local.

4. Click Import and upload the package to Deep Security Manager.

   On import, Deep Security Manager also automatically downloads and imports an agent that is compatible with the operating system of the virtual appliance VM. This agent has the same protection modules as Deep Security Agent for 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

5. If you want to specify a different embedded agent, go to Administration > System Settings > Updates and look for Virtual Appliance Deployment. By default, the Virtual Appliance Deployment option is set to Latest Available (Recommended). This indicates to the manager to upgrade the virtual appliance to use the newest imported, embedded agent. Change this setting, as required.

You have now imported the appliance.
