Deploy a Gateway on Hypervisor with ISO Image

Overview

You can deploy a Gateway ISO image by installing the OpsRamp Gateway software onto a physical or virtual server within your infrastructure. This enables the Gateway to act as a bridge between your on-premises infrastructure and the OpsRamp SaaS platform, facilitating monitoring, management, and automation of IT operations.

Deploying a gateway includes following steps:

• Download the Gateway Image
• Configure the Gateway Virtual Machine
• Install the Gateway
• Register the Gateway

Download the Gateway Image

1. Go to Setup > Downloads > Gateway.
2. In the ISO image for VMware, Xen, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV tile, click Download. This downloads ISO image OpsRampGateway.iso to your local computer.
