VirtualBox ISO

you can use oracle virtualbox to install litmus edge using an iso file video before you begin prepare your environment for running virtualization by using oracle virtualbox review verified vm versions docid\ xf4libp1ms2tlkz7mrokp and confirm the correct version to download see virtualbox downloads https //www virtualbox org/wiki/downloads refer to virtualbox documentation https //www virtualbox org/wiki/documentation to learn more the virtual machine will run on the same physical network card as the host environment to ensure that the device can communicate with data sources such as plc, dcs or cnc and can be accessed through the web ui, make sure that communication can be established adjust the system clock for the host environment prior to installing litmus edge utc is recommended the 15 day trial period may be rejected and invalidated by the license server if the system clock is not adjusted if this happens, contact your litmus representative obtain a valid file in the iso format (example filename \<litmusedge std 3 1 5 0 amd64> iso ) you can get the iso file from litmus or download it from the litmus central portal https //central litmus io/ to use oracle virtualbox to install litmus edge using an iso file, you will need to do the following step 1 create a virtual machine step 2 configure the virtual machine step 3 install the iso file step 4 run litmus edge on the virtual machine step 5 log in to litmus edge to jump to a specific section, refer to the table of contents on the right side and click the corresponding step step 1 create a virtual machine you will need to create a virtual machine (vm) that will be used to run litmus edge to create a virtual machine start the oracle virtualbox application from the oracle vm virtualbox manager window, click new on the toolbar the create virtual machine dialog box appears if needed, toggle guided mode to expert mode the dialog box expands enter a name for the virtual machine in the name field select linux from the type drop down list select other linux (64 bit) from the version drop down list you can select linux 2 6, 3 x, or 4 x (64 bit) move the memory size slider to set the memory size the minimum is 2 gb of (2048 mb) select more memory if the host system permits from the hard disk section, select create a virtual hard disk now click create the create virtual hard disk dialog box appears from the hard disk file type section, select the vmdk (virtual machine disk) from the storage on physical hard disk section, select dynamically allocated move the file size slider to set the file size the minimum value is 16 gb, which enables the vm to run this size provides the resulting vm with about 2 gb of data storage this is enough for a small scale poc without much data storage on the disk if this vm is deployed as a production system or the poc requires more storage for databases, increase the file size beyond 16 gb click create the new vm is deployed it appears on the list in the oracle vm virtualbox manager window step 2 configure the virtual machine after installing the vm, you will need to configure it from the oracle vm virtualbox manager window, select the new vm on the left pane, then click settings on the toolbar the settings dialog box appears step 2a configure system settings configure the following system settings from the motherboard tab boot order highlight optical and click the up arrow to make it the first item in the boot order pointing device select ps/2 mouse extended features make sure enable efi (special oses only) is selected configure the following settings from the processor tab move the processor(s) slider to set the cores for the vm to 2 (the recommended minimum) if the host system permits or the vm is a production deployment, more cores should be allocated step 2b configure storage settings from the left pane, select storage from the storage devices section, select the controller from the type drop down list, select ahci if ahci is not available, select, piix4 the piix4 option works, but displays a number of messages throughout the installation from the storage devices section, select the optical drive (currently shown as empty ) from the attributes section, click the optical drive icon and select choose a disk file navigate to the iso file from which you want to install, and then click open the optical drive in the storage devices section displays the name of the iso file you selected step 2c configure audio settings from the left pane, select audio clear the enable audio output checkbox step 2d configure network settings from the left pane, select network click the adapter 1 tab select the enable network adapter checkbox from the attached to drop down list, select bridged adapter select the appropriate network card name from the name drop down list select the adapter 2 tab select the enable network adapter checkbox from the attached to drop down list, select nat step 2e configure usb settings from the left pane, select usb the usb pane appears on the right deselect the enable usb controller checkbox click ok step 3 run the operating system installer you will run the operating system installer that will install litmus edge notes during the installation, the progress bar may decrease at times due to partitioning the time to complete the installation is based on the size of the hard disk drive large disk drives will cause the installation to take longer to partition the disk and therefore longer to complete setting up the virtual machine to install the iso file from the oracle vm virtualbox manager window, select your vm and click start on the toolbar if prompted, select the iso file you added to the optical device in the storage settings, then click start if the start button does not close the prompt box, click cancel this will not interfere with the installation the terminal user interface (tui) appears if a message appears warning you that the mouse you are using is not supported in tui, ignore it you can navigate the tui using arrow keys and make selections by pressing the enter key during loading, the terminal user interface may display the following warning/error messages these can be ignored after the device initiates, respond to the questions in the tui enter no to continue with the installation using the graphical interface select install operating system , and then select ok select the partition to install, and then select ok the list is device specific typically, the installation location is sda if the device/gateway has embedded mmc (emmc) components, the partition name may be listed as mmcblk instead of sda make sure you select the correct hard drive location select yes to verify the os installation location if you select no , you return to the beginning of the installation select yes to continue formatting the device and installing the operating system the installer indicates its progress followed by a success message after installation, the terminal user interface may display the following warning/error messages these can be ignored select yes to power off the device step 4 run litmus edge on the virtual machine once the iso file is successfully installed, you can run litmus edge on the virtual machine to run litmus edge on the virtual machine you will need to remove the iso file from the optical drive from the oracle vm virtualbox manager window, select your vm on the left pane on the right pane, click the \[optical drive] text in the storage section the selected file turns blue right click the file and deselect the iso file the optical drive shows empty in the system section, select boot order highlight hard disk , click the up arrow to move the hard disk to the top, and then click ok the order should be hard disk, optical, and floppy click start during loading, the terminal user interface may display the following warning/error messages these can be ignored the vm starts up and the terminal window displays the urls to be used to access the edge device through the web ui if several urls are shown, use the first one step 5 log in to litmus edge see access the litmus edge web ui docid\ y hkza2pmc4iruk ebouk for details on logging in see access the terminal user interface docid\ gsdvwb7qwhdhuqf7fkahc for instructions on how to navigate and log in for the first time troubleshooting if you don't see an option for a 64 bit version and only see a 32 bit version, refer to virtualbox only showing 32 bit and no 64 bit versions docid\ jm4s2mjk5qakvl4qgc0gc
