2.1System requirements (mdm 1.15.0)
For mdm 1.15.0, a version of the “mdm installer for Windows” is no longer provided, so that mdm 1.15.0 can no longer be installed on a Windows system.
An update to mdm 1.15.0 is likewise not supported on a Windows system.
To be able to continue to run mdm 1.15.x on a Windows system, you can use the virtual machine „mdm VA“ (VA = Virtual Appliance), provided by Phoenix Contact, running a preinstalled Ubuntu operating system (see Section 2.1.3).
mdm 1.15.0 can only be installed and operated under the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS operating system in the virtual machine "mdm VA" provided by Phoenix Contact (see Section 2.1.3).
The virtual machine „mdm VA“ is provided as an OVA file and run using a virtualization software program. The mdm VA is preconfigured by means of a configuration file provided by Phoenix Contact and is an easy way of installing mdm 1.15.x.
Basically, the following steps must be performed to install mdm 1.15.x in a virtual environment and use it as usual:
1.Download VirtualBox and install it in Windows
2.Download the mdm VA and import it into VirtualBox
3.Download the configuration file and add it to the mdm VA
4.Start the mdm VA and install mdm 1.15.x in the mdm VA
5.Migrate the mdm databases from mdm 1.13.x or 1.14.x to mdm 1.15.x
The installation and operation of mdm 1.15.0 in the virtual machine is described in detail in the user manual „Using mdm 1.15.x in the mdm VA“ (AH EN MDM VA - 110903_en_01). (Download at: phoenixcontact.net/product/2981974.)
