This document describes briefly how to run a JumpBox on Virtual Iron. It has only been tested on Virtual Iron Single Server Edition 4.04. A working knowledge of Virtual Iron's Virtualization Manager is assumed.

• Unzip the JumpBox distribution, and note the location of the resulting files.
• Login to the Virtualization Manager.
• Select an appropriate disk group, or create a new one, where the JumpBox virtual disks will be stored.
• Click "Import." In the file dialog box, navigate to the directory where the JumpBox files (JumpBox.vmx etc.) are located. There will be a subdirectory named "disks"; enter it.
• There will be a subdirectory named "root"; Enter it. No files will appear in the dialog box. Instead, in the "File Name" textbox, enter "root.hdd" (without quotes) and click "Import."
• The import should proceed normally. Once it is complete, click "Import."
• Enter the "disks" and then the "data" directory.
• Click the "data.vhd" entry, and click "Import." The import should complete normally.
• Create a new "basic" Virtual Server, then edit its configuration.
• Choose "Other Linux" for "Operating System."
• Select the "Storage" tab. Assign the two imported drives to the virtual server. If necessary, use the "Move Up" button to ensure that "root.hdd" is the first (boot) drive.
• Select the Networks tab, and configure networking appropriately. You must configure at least one ethernet interface.
• Launch a virtual server console for this Virtual Server. The JumpBox console screen will display, showing the IP address. From this point, you should be able to operate the JumpBox as for other virtualization environments.
