 ==Installation==
 ===Zip file extraction===
-Please extract the zip archive. It should contain the 3 files “allegro-multimeter.ovf”, “allegro-multimeter.vmdk” and “allegro-multimeter-virtualbox.ovf”.
+Please extract the zip archive. It should contain a single file “allegro-image-X.X.X.vhdx” where X.X.X is the version number of the release.
-===OVF deployment to VMWare ESXi===
+===Creating a Hyper-V virtual machine in the Hyper-V Manager.===
-Log in to VMWare ESXi.
+Open the Hyper-V Manager
+[[File:Hyper-V Manager start.png|none|frame]]
+Create a new virtual machine under "Actions" → “New” → "Virtual Machine ...".
-[[File:Esxi login.png|400px]]
+Follow the wizard by first giving a name to the virtual machine.
-Once you have logged in, navigate to “Virtual Machines”
+When asked to "Specify Generation" choose "Generation 2".
-[[File:Esxi dashboard.png|600px]]
+// TODO generation image
-Create a new VM with “Create / Register VM” and select the option “Deploy a virtual machine from an OVF or OVA file”.
+On the "Assign Memory" page set the startup memory to at least 2048 MB.
-[[File:Esxi create new vm.png|600px]]
+// TODO memory assign image
-Press “Next”, use a preferred name for the Allegro and drag/drop the ovf and vmdk files into the window (as seen in the picture below) and press “Next”.
+On the "Configure Network" page select the network connection that you want the Allegro Virtual Edition management interface to be connected to.
-[[File:Esxi create new vm step 2.png|600px]]
+// TODO management network image
-Select your data storage (20 GB is enough) for the Allegro. This storage will be used as the boot partition and to store the configuration of the Allegro Virtual Edition.
+On the "Connect Virtual Hard Disk" select the option "Use an existing virtual hard disk" and select the “allegro-image-X.X.X.vhdx” that was extracted from the ZIP archive.
-This partition/disk will NOT facilitate the packet ring buffer functionality. This does not require a high-speed disk.
+// TODO hard disk image
-[[File:Esxi create new vm select storage.png|600px]]
+Finish the wizard to create the virtual machine.
-The deployment options allow you to select the network mapping for the MGT port and the disk provisioning.
+=== Add an additional network interface to the virtual machine ===
+Edit the settings for the virtual machine under "Actions" → “Settings...”
-[[File:Esxi create new vm management.png|600px]]
+With the "Add hardware" item selected "Network Adapter" and click "Add".
-Please double-check all options in the next dialogue and press finish if everything is fine.
+// TODO settings network adapter image
-[[File:Esxi create new vm finish.png|600px]]
+Choose the virtual switch that you want the Allegro Virtual Edition monitoring interface to be connected to and click "Apply".
-The upload and import of the Allegro Virtual Edition will start. Please be patient until it is finished.
+===Packet ring buffer and pcap storage===
+For the ring buffer to work, you need to add an additional virtual disk (or more) to the Allegro Virtual Edition.
+With the "Add hardware" item selected again this time choose "SCSI Controller" and click "Add".
+// TODO settings scsi controller image
+Leave the default type "Hard drive" and click "Add".
+The controller location 0 will be in use so choose 1.
+// TODO scsi controller location image
+In the "media" section with "Virtual hard disk" selected click on "New".
+This will open a wizard and on the "Choose disk type" page select "Fixed size" for best performance.
+// TODO disk type fixed size image
-[[File:Esxi import.png|600px]]
+Follow the wizard to create a "blank virtual hard disk" with the desired size for the packet ring buffer.
-===Packet ring buffer and pcap storage===
-For the ring buffer to work, you must add a "Hard disk 2" virtual disk (or more) to the Allegro Virtual Edition.
-To do so, with a turned off VM, press “Edit” in the Vmware ESXi host and add a new (high speed) HDD.
-[[File:Esxi add hdd.png]]
 When done, power on the Allegro VM and go to menu '''Generic''' → '''Storage''', to check if the Allegro Network Multimeter has detected a storage device.

 The Allegro Virtual Edition is now running and analyzes all packets on the capture port.
-==Mirroring virtual interface==
-The Allegro Virtual Edition has by default 2 network interfaces. The first port is used for Management, the second is used as capture port. The Allegro Virtual Edition will analyze all traffic received by this network port.
-Please enable the promiscuous mode for the vwsitch to allow the Allegro Virtual Edition to monitor all packets from on a VMWare vswitch.

 ==Encapsulated remote mirroring (L3) source==
 The Allegro Virtual Edition supports the VMware '''Encapsulated remote mirroring (L3) source''' with the [[ERSPAN Installation|ERSPAN Mode]]. You can set up an IP address on the capture port and send encapsulated packets to the Allegro. Please see the Vsphere documentation center for Encapsulated remote mirroring (L3) source.
