NetBackup Virtual Appliance product files (OVF templates)
This section describes the NetBackup Virtual Appliance product files (OVF templates) for deployment. The product files are different in appliance roles, CPU, memory, and initial storage capacity.
You can download the NetBackup Virtual Appliance product file from the Licensing Portal on the MyVeritas website.
For the combined master and media server, Veritas provides the automatic initial configuration option. By using a product file that supports this option, the deployment wizard passes in the appliance network and storage configuration as OVF properties during the deployment process. When the deployment is complete, the appliance network and storage are configured based on these values. Then, you need to perform the remaining steps from the appliance shell menu to complete the initial configuration.

Note the following limitations with the products files with flexible initial storage:
You must have a vCenter Server to deploy product files with flexible initial storage.
If your VMware vSphere version is 6.5 and later, note that you cannot use the vSphere Web Client to deploy product files with flexible initial storage. This is a VMware limitation. To work around this limitation, use the VMware OVF Tool on a vCenter Server.
