    24 Lets now see how to install perfsonar. Perfsonar toolkit is the package that contains the full suite of the testing tools. There several methods to install this toolkit. Here we are using CentOS Toolkit ISO image to do the installation. This can be installed either on bare-metal server or on a virtual machine.
     24Please download perfsonar.ova file from the Lab Setup page. Open the Virtual Box and select File => Import Appliance and then select the downloaded file. Then select Continue to next window. There you can see the Apliance settings. You can change the values shown there by selecting the fields. Recommend memory and CPU cores for the perfSONAR are 4096 MB memory and 2 CPU cores. If your host machine has enough resources to cater this please go ahead by increasing the memory to 4096 MB. Then from the MAC Address Policy field select Generate New MAC Addresses for all network adapters. Then select import to finish the importing of the appliance.

    26 First you need to write ISO image into a USB drive and boot the server from the USB. Next you will follow instructions which is almost same as installation of a CentOS 7 operating system.
     26Once imported go to settings of the VM and go to Network => Adapter 1. Verify that the Bridge Adapter is selected and also check that the Adapter Name selected is from your Host machine is correct. We prefer Ethernet over Wireless connection for this.
