Deploy and ComC]†r; Security Director Cloud Insights On-premises Collector with Open (br|†-ѴbŒ-ঞom Appliance (OVA) Files
Security Director Cloud Insights requires VMware ESXi server version 6.5 or later to support a virtual machine (VM) with the following conC]†r-ঞonsĹ
- 16 CPUs
- 24-GB RAM
- 1.2-TB disk space
If you are not familiar with using VMware ESXi servers, see VMware oc†m;n|-ঞon and select the appropriate VMware vSphere version.
To deploy and conC]†r; the Security Director Cloud Insights on-premises collector with OVA CѴ;sķ perform the following tasks:
- Download the Security Director Insights Cloud – Collector VM OVA image from the Juniper Networks so[w-r; download page.
NOTE: Do not change the name of the Security Director Cloud Insights VM image CѴ; that you download from the Juniper Networks support site. If you change the name of the image CѴ;ķ the cr;-ঞon of the Security Director Cloud Insights VM may fail. - Launch the vSphere Client that is connected to the ESXi server, where the Security Director Cloud Insights VM is to be deployed.
- Select File > Deploy OVF Template.
The Deploy OVF Template page appears, as shown in Figure 2 on page 6.
Figure 2: Select an OVF Template Page - In the Select an OVF template page, select the URL orঞon if you want to download the OVA image from the internet or select Local CѴ; to browse the local drive and upload the OVA image.
- Click Next.
The Select a name and folder page appears. - Specify the OVA name, bns|-ѴѴ-ঞon Ѵoc-ঞon for the VM, and click Next.
The Select a compute resource page appears. - Select the 7;sঞn-ঞon compute resource for the VM, and click Next.
The Review details page appears. - Verify the OVA details and click Next.
The License agreements page appears, as shown in Figure 3 on page 7.
Figure 3: License Agreement Page - Accept the EULA and click Next.
The Select storage page appears. - Select the 7;sঞn-ঞon CѴ; storage for the VM conC]†r-ঞon CѴ;s and the disk format. (Thin Provision is for smaller disks and Thick Provision is for larger disks.)
Click Next. The Select networks page appears. - Select the network interfaces for the VM.
ConC]†r; IP -ѴѴoc-ঞon for DHCP or “|-ঞc addressing. We recommend using “|-ঞc IP ѴѴoc-ঞon Policy.
Click Next. The Customize template page appears. For DHCP bns|r†cঞonsķ see Step 13. - For IP -ѴѴoc-ঞon as “|-ঞcķ conC]†r; the following parameters for the VM:
- IP address—Enter the Security Director Cloud Insights VM IP address.
- Netmask—Enter the netmask.
- Gateway—Enter the gateway address.
- DNS Address 1—Enter the primary DNS address.
- DNS Address 2—Enter the secondary DNS address.
- Figure 4: Customize Template Page
- For IP -ѴѴoc-ঞon as DHCP, enter the search domain, hostname, device name, and device 7;scrbrঞon for the VM.
We recommend this orঞon only for the Proof of Concept type of short-term deployments. Do not use this orঞonĺ
Click Next. The Ready to complete page appears, as shown in Figure 5 on page 9.
Figure 5: Ready to Complete Page
- Verify all the details and click Finish to begin the OVA bns|-ѴѴ-ঞonĺ
- [;r the OVA is installed successfully, power on the VM and wait for the boot-up to complete.
- [;r the VM powers on, in the CLI terminal, log in as administrator with the default username as “admin” and password as “abc123”.
[;r you log in, the system prompts you to change the default admin password. Enter a new password to change the default password, as shown in Figure 6 on page 9.

- Follow the wizard to conC]†r; the network details (hostname, conn;cঞon and so on) on the cloud. [;r you deploy the Security Director Cloud Insights VM, if you want to change the tenant to which the on-premises collector is connected, then go to the CLI and run the sdic conC]†r; command. The format of the command is sdic conC]†r; . The Security Director Cloud Insights on-premises collector deployment is now complete.
