Tanium Virtual Appliance
The open virtual appliance (OVA) image file provided by Tanium has the following default settings:
- BIOS
- 16GB RAM
- 4 CPU
- 4 NIC (VMXNET3)
- 1 HDD 1TB thin provisioned (SATA 0, VMDK Format)
Before you start the virtual appliance for the first time, you might need to use the VM settings utility on the hypervisor to make changes to support the recommended specifications for your deployment size.
