The SLB S-Cz9.3.0 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:

  • nnSCZ930-img-vm_kvm.tgz—Compressed image file including SLB VNF for KVM virtual machines, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and AWS EC2 and C5 instances.
  • nnSCZ930-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 (for VMware) or qcow2 (for KVM) format.
  • OVF File—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 (KVM only)—Licensing information, including the Oracle End-User license agreement (EULA) terms covering the use of this software, and third-party license notifications.
