Table 1: Policy Manager Server Configuration Information format is no longer used to acquire IP addresses. Netmask defines the class and range of IP addresses. Netmask Netmask is a 32-bit mask used for segregating IP address into subnets. As part of this change, the prefix length of the address is required as part of the input, and the input prompt displays an example of this address format. A CIDR IP address ends with a slash followed by the IP network prefix, for example, 192.0.2.0/24.) notation to configure IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the management and data ports when the system is bootstrapped during installation or upgrade. With CIDR, a single IP address can be used to designate many unique IP addresses. The CIDR IP addressing scheme is used as a replacement for the older IP addressing scheme based on classes A, B, and C. CIDR is an IP standard for creating and allocating unique identifiers for networks and devices. Policy Manager now supports Classless Inter-Domain Routing ( CIDR Classless Inter-Domain Routing.
Microsoft Hyper‑V Server 2012 R2, Microsoft Hyper‑V Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper‑V, Windows Server 2016 with Hyper‑V, or Windows Server 2019 with Hyper‑V.įor the latest information on the supported hypervisors and virtual hardware requirements, refer to ClearPass 6.9 Release Notes.īefore Starting the Policy Manager Installationīefore starting the Policy Manager installation and configuration procedures for the virtual appliance, determine the following Policy Manager server information on your network, note the corresponding values for the parameters listed in Table 1, and keep it for your records. Hypervisors that run on a client computer such as VMware Player are not supported. Policy Manager supports the following following hypervisors. Policy Manager requires a continuous sustained high data I/O rate. Most virtualized environments use a shared disk subsystem, assuming that each application will have bursts of I/O without a sustained high I/O throughput. You must also ensure that the disk subsystem can maintain the IOPs (I/O operations per second) throughput as detailed below. VMs are based on computer architectures and provide functionality of a physical computer. A VM is an emulation of a computer system. To ensure scalability, dedicate or reserve the processing and memory to the Policy Manager VM Virtual Machine. The additional space required depends on the Policy Manager virtual appliance version. This must be supplemented with additional storage/hard disk by adding a virtual hard disk (see Adding a Virtual Hard Disk for details). Policy Manager VMware ships with a 20 GB hard disk volume. Supplemental Storage/Hard Disk RequirementĪll VMware ESXi virtual machines use hardware version 8. Be sure that your system meets the recommended specifications required for the Policy Manager virtual appliance.
If you do not have the virtual appliance resources to support a full workload, you should consider ordering the Policy Manager hardware appliance. Virtual appliance recommendations are adjusted to align with the requirements for Policy Manager hardware appliances. These recommendations supersede earlier requirements that were published for Policy Manager 6.x installations. Meeting the Recommended ESX/ESXi Server SpecificationsĬarefully review all virtual appliance requirements, including functional IOP ratings, and verify that your system meets these requirements. For information about installing and starting the vSphere Web Client, go to VMware Documentation. This section assumes that the VMware vSphere Web Client has been installed.
