This file serves as the base virtual hard disk drive (HDD) for the OS10 virtual machine. Unlike standard firmware images used for physical switches, this VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) file contains the core file system architecture required to run OS10 on a hypervisor. It is typically distributed as part of a larger virtualization bundle (e.g., OS10_Virtualization_10.x.x.xV.zip ) which includes two other essential files: This file serves as the base virtual hard
Running the OS10 virtual appliance requires significant resources due to its complex hardware abstraction layer:
