  3. Import the virtual appliance using the tool that comes with your VMware product. For example with the vSphere client, select the menu option “Deploy OVF Template…” and select the ovf file to import.

  4. To prevent swapping because of memory overcommitment, reserve all memory for the virtual machine.
