You will need to have VMWare ESX or ESXi installed on the hardware prior to loading the Symantec Web Gateway OVF. The actual deployment of the SWG is done via OVF file which is very simple and straight fowared. 

I've attached the implemenation guide for the SWG. Page 65 Starts Chapter 4 which is Installing Syantec Web Gateway Virtual Edition.

Hi Andrefonseca,

I do not think that this supported the installation of an image on hardware not purchased by Symantec. You should call Symantec Support so that you validate the installation, because you could lose the right to access support, even if you have current maintenance.
Rather, it is recommended that you install VMware ESXi and follow the procedure of the installation guide.

I am attaching the link to search the Symantec Support phone that corresponds to your country: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/contact_t...

Greetings

Esteban is correct. SWG is only supported in VMware ESX or ESXi or on hardware purchased from Symantec the 8450 or 8490.

For VM deployment you will need to use the OVF available for download from our fileconnect website. 

Can you be more specific about your high availablilty question? What mode do you plan on using SWG in?

We do not support the installation of the SWG software on any hardware besides the physical appliances we sell. We now provide the option and drivers to install the software into an ESXi or vSphere environment. You would install ESXi or vSphere on this Dell server, then install the SWG as a virtual machine on it.

You should have been prompted to set a password for the web based interface while going through the setup wizard.

You should be able to reset the password using the console using the following

User:Admin

Password: admin1!

Then unlock setup wizard and menu option 8 to unlock the setup wizard again. Then go to the web page for SWG and reconfigure it.
