1 This guideline illustrates the installation of the C-MOR Video Surveillance Virtual Machine on VMware ESX Server. This manual applies to C-MOR version 4 with 64 bit operating system. First download the C-MOR Virtual Machine Software package (ZIP or ISO) from Login to your VMware ESX Server: Page 1

2 Select Configuration in the vsphere Client: Select Storage from the Hardware menu. Page 2

Select the folder in the selected datastore where you want

3 Select the datastore where you upload ISO files and browse it with the right mouse button. Select the folder in the selected datastore where you want to upload the C-MOR ISO file: Open it. In this example the folder is called ISO. Page 3

4 Click on the upload button and select the C-MOR ISO file in the next step: The upload of the ISO file starts after selecting the file and clicking open : Page 4

5 Verify the successful upload: Close the datastore browser and create a new virtual machine in the vsphere Client by right clicking on the server and selecting New Virtual Machine : Page 5

6 The dialog for setting up a new virtual machine is starting: Page 6

7 Select a useful name, in example C-MOR Video Surveillance : Select the datastore where to create the virtual machine: Page 7

8 Select the operating system Other 2.6x Linux (64-bit): Page 8

Create one hard disk, for example with 100GB space total space for the C-MOR software and the storage for video surveillance recordings: Important!

9 Create one hard disk, for example with 100GB space total space for the C-MOR software and the storage for video surveillance recordings: Important! C-MOR virtual machine can handle a maximum disk size of 2TB! Do not select bigger disk space. The installation will fail. Also, the configured disk space can t be extended later. Make sure you set a good value to avoid starting over with the installation! Page 9

10 Select Edit the virtual machine settings before completion before you hit Continue. Some settings have to be made prior the installation self-starts: Change the memory (RAM) up to 1GB for a C-MOR3 or C-MOR6, 9, or 2GB for a C-MOR15 virtual machine: Page 10

11 Also raise the number of CPUs to 2 CPUs for a C-MOR with up to 6 cameras, and 4 for a C-MOR with more cameras. This can be optimized later if performance issues occur: Select the uploaded ISO file as CDROM/DVD. Make sure the check mark Connect at power on is set. With this setting the virtual machine which was created boots from this CDROM ISO file. Page 11

12 Click ok, all settings are made. You get back to the vsphere Client. Start the new virtual machine now (power it on) by clicking with the right mouse button on the new VM: Page 12

13 Click on the console icon to see the boot progress. Page 13

Hit Enter to start the installation process. Select now between an Automatically or an Interactively restore. The automatic installation does not require much more information.

14 Hit Enter to start the installation process. Select now between an Automatically or an Interactively restore. The automatic installation does not require much more information. Therefor it calculates the disk space split up self. That has the disadvantage that some disk space is wasted. The wasted space is approximately 2GB in case of a 100GB virtual disk. The interactive installation asks more information, but no space is wasted. In this document we decide to do a more accurate installation and select Interactively. Page 14

15 Select the source type, CD-R disks since we have an ISO file which is a CDROM image: On the next screen the disk partitioning menu shows up. Write down the sizes and add it up. Page 15

16 Set the /boot always to 150MB, swap always to 2048MB and use the rest for /, the root partition. In this example we free up 2120MB. We add this free space to the partition /. Select ok to get to the next screen. Page 16

17 In case of wrong sizing (only over-allocation) the following error message may show in the screen. Correct the root partition size in this case. If all settings are correct the installation process waits for the installation confirmation: Page 17

18 Confirm once more that the virtual new disk can be formatted: And confirm to install the software now: Page 18

19 The installation process self runs now: After the installation of the software the boot loader needs to be initialized: Page 19

20 Important now! Do not re-generate the Grub-Loader (boot software of C-MOR). You have to start over if this is answered with yes! Also hit No on the next screen: Page 20

21 And once more No since those types of partitions are not used: Finally type exit and hit enter to startup the freshly installed C-MOR virtual machine. Page 21

22 In the next screen C-MOR shows the start screen of the VGA console. It automatically boots twice now to gather the last system information for the installation. After the initial reboot the C-MOR virtual machine is ready: Page 22

23 Now you can change the IP address for your network by selecting the menu 2. The default password is admin. This will be asked first prior doing system settings. Simply open your web browser now and open the C-MOR web. The default address is with the username admin and the password admin : Page 23

24 The following disclaimer shows up: Page 24

benefit with all features, e. g. using 3 IP cameras.

25 After accepting the disclaimer the C-MOR Start Screen shows up. Now call the page System Administration to license C-MOR and get the full benefit with all features, e. g. using 3 IP cameras. Click on the function License Installation. This point only exists if C-MOR is not licensed yet. Page 25

26 Enter the license data. Enter the data for a proxy server if it s necessary to access the Internet. Please ask your network administrator in doubt. Page 26

27 The next screen is displayed after the license installation. This will show up always, if the license has been installed successfully or not. Please click on System Administration to verify the successful installation of the license. A successful license installation is indicated by the no longer existing link to the install license page: Page 27

28 Most reasons the license installation fail are missing or incorrect license access data. You can order a license from Other reasons are no free access to the Internet or incorrect DNS server settings. Please make sure these settings are correct prior looking up for other reasons. C-MOR is now ready. Important! Please refer to the Guideline for camera license installation if you need to activate additional cameras. This is required if you have more than 3 cameras, in example if you want to use a C-MOR6. Page 28
