Recommended use

Prerequisites

Security & Hardening

• Change default vmware/root passwords immediately.
• Disable SSH unless required.
• Restrict API access using firewall rules.
• Apply vSphere security patches to the underlying VM.

• Name & Folder: Give the VM a logical name (e.g., vRO-8.7.0-Prod).
• Compute Resource: Select the ESXi host.
• Storage: Select the datastore. Thick provision is recommended for performance.
• Deployment Type: Choose between Small (lab), Medium (standard production), or Large (heavy workflow loads). For 8.7.0, "Medium" is safe for most use cases.
