In order to run the pre-configured VMware virtualized Seon image "Seonvirtual" in a vSphere ESX or ESXi environment, you have to convert it according to VMware's guidelines: http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/overview.html

If you don't have the converter installed on a machine of your choice (Windows only), you have to download it in the latest version, respecting your VMware hosts's version, in order to convert the image. For downloading the program, you must be a registered VMware user. Login into you account with your credentials in order to download and install the program.

Procedure

After installation of the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client (consult your VMware installation for deciding if you want to install the standalone version or the server version of the converter), start it up. The following screen will welcome you:
