For Virtual Machines

The SLB S-Cz9.1.0 version includes distributions suited for deployment over hypervisors. Download packages contain virtual machine templates for a range of virtual architectures. Use the following distributions to deploy the SLB as a virtual machine:

• nnSCZ910-img-vm_kvm.tgz—Compressed image file including SLB VNF for KVM virtual machines, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and AWS EC2 and C5 instances.
• nnSCZ910-img-vm_vmware.ova—Open Virtualization Archive (.ova) distribution of the SLB VNF for ESXi virtual machines.

The KVM, and ESXi packages include:

• Product software—Bootable image of the product allowing startup and operation as a virtual machine. This disk image is in either the vmdk or qcow2 format.
• usbc.ovf—XML descriptor information containing metadata for the overall package, including identification, and default virtual machine resource requirements. The .ovf file format is specific to the supported hypervisor.
• legal.txt—Licensing information, including the Oracle End-User license agreement (EULA) terms covering the use of this software, and third-party license notifications.
• Alternate Bootloader file: EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI—New installations and upgrades on COTS platforms that support 64-bit Unified Extensive Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode. UEFI systems locate this file, provided in the Oracle distribution, when applicable.
