- The OVA is deployed with 4 vCPU and 8 GB of Memory. The vSphere Environment will need to support a VM of that size.

Known Issues
- When deploying the OVA to vCenter Server 7.0 U2 or higher a warning will display that the certificate is untrusted. This is not an issue with the OVA certificate signing, but rather VMware changed the certificate validation process to only approve certificates signed by Authorities in the vCenter's Trusted Root store. See VMware's KB on the matter for more information.
- The deployment certificate used to validate the OVA file expired on July 21st, 2021. Please only use 3.4.1 or later for deployment that comes with a new valid certificate.
