Overview
This article describes the information required for the initial installation and configuration of the Delphix Engine.
The InstallWorkbooks articles list all the values that need to be captured, as well as sample values. Choose the workbook for the corresponding hypervisor. In addition to required values, the InstallWorkbooks also lists useful data to document as part of the installation.
Hypervisor specific options
As a virtual appliance, Delphix supports a number of different hypervisors and configurations. The choice of hypervisor and network configuration will determine what configurations are needed for the first step in the installation of Delphix.
