We've completed uploading of new VMware OVF Templates for Incredible PBX 13 to SourceForge. The following are available now:
Code:
934214452 IncrediblePBX13-Full.zip
939188971 IncrediblePBX13-Lean.zip
These OVF templates can be used to create new Virtual Machines using the two products shown above: VMware ESXi server platform (free) and the Windows vSphere Client (free). IMPORTANT: Don't forget to plug in your License Key (also free) after you install your ESXi server... or it will stop working in a few weeks.
See Part 2 of tutorial available here for instructions on deploying OVF templates. IMPORTANT: Be sure to select Thin Provision for Disk Type in Step 5 below when creating new VMs!
Deploying an OVF Template takes about 2 minutes. You'll end up with an Incredible PBX with a 20GB drive using 1GB RAM.
1. Login to the vSphere Client on your Windows Desktop using the root account you set up when you installed ESXi. Choose File, Deploy OVF Template.
2. Select the desired Incredible PBX .ovf template from your desktop PC after unzipping the downloads onto your Windows Desktop.
3. Click Next.
4. Give the new Virtual Machine a name.
5. IMPORTANT: Choose Thin Provision option and click Next.
6. Review your entries and click Next to create the new Virtual Machine.
7. It takes about 2 minutes to create the new Virtual Machine.
8. The Main Client window will redisplay and your new VM should now be shown in the left panel. (1) Click on it. (2) Then click the Green start icon. (3) Click the Console Window icon.
9. When the VM's Console Window opens, click in the window in the black area. Then press ENTER to kick off the Incredible PBX Phase 2 install. Incredible PBX tutorial here. Ctrl-Alt gets your mouse and keyboard out of the console window.
