The .ovf file contains an XML specification of the virtual appliance
in the Open Virtualization Format which can be imported by any recent
version of VMware products.
The .vmdk file is the VMware hard disk that contains the 
installed virtual appliance.
The .mf file contains SHA1 checksums of the two above mentioned
files. These checksums can be used to verify the integrity
of the files.
The License.txt file contains the ENDIAN End User License Agreement.
The Readme-VMWare.txt file contains this text.


Installing the .ovf file
========================

This is the recommended installation procedure.
If you have a product that supports the Open Virtualization
Format, such as VMware ESXi 5.5 or VMware Workstation 10 you
can simply import the .ovf file and you are ready to go.
An example would be VMware vSphere Client where this can be
done by opening the *File->Deploy OVF Template...* menu.


Installing the .vmdk file
=========================

If your product does not support the Open Virtualization
Format yet, you can still install the virtual appliance.
However, in this case some more steps are required.

1. Create a new virtual machine.
2. When prompted whether you want to create a new hard disk
   or you want to use an existing one choose existing disk
   and select the .vmdk file.
3. Finish the process and you are ready to go.

Additional information
----------------------

- This virtual machine comes already pre-installed. When booting
  the machine will first be configured using the IP address 
  192.168.0.15/24 on the GREEN interface. During the boot process
  the system will also start a DHCP client on the GREEN interface.
  This means, that if there is a DHCP server running in your GREEN
  zone you will then be able to access the virtual appliance
  on the newly assigned IP address.
  If you do not have the possibility to find out which IP address
  has been assigned to the system you can use your VMware console
  to login with the default password and then execute the
  command that will show you the IP address. This procedure looks
  like the following:

    > login
    enter root@hostname's password:
    > ip a show br0
    2: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> ...
        link/ether 00:3d:42:ec:72:1a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
        inet 192.168.0.15/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0
        inet6 fe80::21d:92ff:feec:521a/64 scope link 
           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

- This virtual machine has been created for with hardware version
  8. This means it will *not* run on ESX 4 or below and VMware
  Fusion. For a full compatibility list please check this link:
