Deploy Tenable Core in KVM

You can deploy Tenable Core applications on ProxMox, VirtManager, Nutanix AHV, or other platforms that use KVM virtualization.

Note: After you download the qcow2 file, you can use an external storage device to deploy it on another machine. You do not need internet access on the machine hosting Tenable Core.

Before you begin:

• Confirm your environment supports your intended use of the instance, as described in System and License Requirements.

• Confirm your internet and port access will support your intended use of the instance, as described in Access Requirements.

To deploy Tenable Core as a virtual machine using a KVM image:

1. Download the Tenable-Core-OL8-<product>-<date>.qcow2 file from the Tenable Downloads page.

2. Navigate to your platform's system manager on the machine where you want to deploy Tenable Core + Tenable Sensor Proxy.

3. Create a new virtual machine following the process applicable on your platform. Assign the qcow2 image as the machine's disk and assign other resources according to System Requirements.

   Note: You must set your virtual machine to boot using legacy BIOS.

4. Power on your new virtual machine following the process applicable on your platform.

What to do next:

• Continue getting started with Tenable Core + Tenable Sensor Proxy, as described in Get Started.
