- Select 'Virtual Machines' from the left menu
- Click on 'Create / Register VM'
- Select 'Deploy a virtual machine from an OVF or OVA file' then press 'next'
- Enter the name. Drag the file or browse to the location of the TSBC-SW image obtained from TelcoBridges. 'Click 'Next'

- Edit network adapters to connect on proper networks. Make sure that at least one of the adapter connects to the private management network of the setup from which WebPortal access will be granted. Do not press the 'Save' button yet.
- Click on 'CPU' to open the details. Set 'Shares' to 'high', enter the maximum number of MHz corresponding to your number of CPU cores in 'Reservation' (See TSBC-SW:Cloud:VmWare_Launching_Instance_Web_A#Calculating_Reserved_CPU_MHz) and make sure the 'Unlimited' option is selected. Do not press the 'Save' button yet.
- Open the 'Memory' details and check-mark the 'Reserve all guest memory (All locked)' option. Do not press the 'Save' button yet.
