Morphing ESXi to a Higher Model Virtual Appliance
The illustrations in this section use the example of morphing a CP-VA-500 virtual appliance to a CP-VA-25K. Adjust
your own configuration as needed.
Perform the following steps when morphing an ESXi virtual appliance to a higher model virtual appliance:
1. Power off the W-ClearPass VMware instance.
2. In VMware, open the W-ClearPass virtual machine properties.
3. Add a new hard disk to the virtual machine. The Virtual Device Node should be SCSI(0:2).
Review the VMware disk requirements first. These are described in "Recommended ESXi Server
Specifications" on page 1.
