#Trial xtreme 2 controller setup install
Due to the way the installer works, it won’t install will less than 700M RAM, and even at 1.5G RAM I’ve witnessed process crashes due to low memory.
OS Type: Other Linux 3.0 kernel 64-bit (tried with 2.4/2.6 as well, did not see any difference). Here’s my setup ( tested in current VMWare player 6.x and previous 5.x): You can try reading the installation guide I mentioned before, or just follow the details here. Next step is to create a VM in VMWare Player ( or any other VM Environment). The one I used for this installation was VX9000-DEMO-INSTALL-5.6.0.0-056R.iso. Is has 16 AP licenses and Advanced Security license preinstalled (and time-bombed), which should be enough for a decent amount of testing ( and you can cluster them to aggregate licesnes! 🙂). Once the ZIP file is downloaded, there will be two ISO images there. Downloading firmware requires having an account, you’ll be given an opportunity to register. The VX9000 support page has links to the firmware and the install guide.
First, get the image from the Support Website.Officially, VX9000 supports EXSi, Xen, Hyper-V or Amazon EC2, but for small setups something like VMWare Player or VirtualBox also works. In this blog I’ll review how I installed VX9000 image onto VMWare Player.
I am very excited about it, as it allows me to run a VM version of Motorola’s top controller ( or cluster, or hierarchy for that sake) right on my laptop! No need to say about potential for labs and demos this has. Motorola WiNG5.6 firmware images were finally posted last week, and along them, the VX9000 cloud controller DEMO image.
