Fusion installation using VMware Virtual Machine

[lafargeuser]

Hi,

Is there any documentation available to installed Nagios Fusion VMware Virtual Machine (32 bit).

refering below link.

http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... /downloads

But not able to find any documentation.

The Fusion VM is already pre-installed with Nagios Fusion. You can power on the VM in ESX ,Vmware Workstation, of Vmware player, fetch the IP address, and access the web install page at:
http://<theipaddress>/nagiosfusion

From there you'll want to review the following:

while power on it throws below error

Power On virtual machine UX_IMSLAB_NagiosFusion Device 'Hard disk 1' has a backing type that is not supported. This is a general limitation of the virtual machine's compatibility with the ESXi version of the selected host.

import is failing

if my understading is correct, then do we require to have internet download access to on which we are going to install NagiosFusion.

Yes, it is required for a full install to download required packages.

With proxy it was not working. So i use NAT IP instead & was able to download pkgs from internet.

Now can i have repository for the all pkgs so that in future if i would need to install Fusion,then i will be using same repository so that it will locally get installed. And i dont have to opt for NAT IP or internet download access.

We've got some notes on using wget and yum behind a proxy, this could be useful for your scenario:

I had tried that setting as well but didnt work.

Thanks.

Installing NagiosXI & Fusion is very simple but getting internet download access its very tough in my enviroment due to software compliance.

There should be other way like Core, we can installed these products without internet or creating local respository.

Currently our solution for this has been recommending users download our pre-installed VM and import it into their virtualization server. Doing an offline installer for Fusion would be a lot simpler than XI. When we attempted to do this for XI by creating a tarball with a local package repository, we found that just about everyone who needed an offline installer had special requirements on their installation platform, which made it almost impossible to have have a supportable offline installer...
