To manually deploy a LoadMaster, select the hypervisor format you want to download then follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: The VMware ESXi hypervisor should only be chosen when deploying to a standalone ESXi server that is not being managed by VMware vCenter. If you are deploying to a VMware ESXi server that is being managed by vCenter, then choose VMware vCenter as the hypervisor and deploy through vCenter. If you instead select VMware ESXi to deploy to an ESXi server that is managed by vCenter, then after deployment you may need to manually adjust the resource settings on vCenter to reflect the datastore to which you deployed the VLM image. This is due to communications/permissions issues between vCenter and ESXi.

Review the profile summary and ensure you are satisfied with the settings.

CAUTION: Be careful that you do not instantiate a deployment containing the same IP address of one that is already deployed on your network.

After you download the deployment, the status of the LoadMaster profile changes to Downloaded. If it is not deployed in a target environment in 7 days, the status changes to Deploy Error. Deploy the profile image in the appropriate environment. Refer to the documentation for the selected hypervisor and to the VLM installation guide for the appropriate hypervisor on the LoadMaster documentation.

Once the downloaded image is added to the hypervisor and is successfully contacted by Kemp 360 Central, it is shown as a blue icon device in the left frame tree and the profile status in the LoadMaster Deployments screen changes to Deployed.
