Virtual Appliance

Virtual Appliance

The OMERO virtual appliance is a quick, easy, & lo-cost way to try out OMERO.server on your laptop or desktop. This enables you to make an informed decision about whether committing to an OMERO.server install is right for you.

Increasing HD Size

Image data can become very large and can easily fill available hard-drive space. The OMERO virtual appliance (VA) is similar to a non-virtualised installation in that the amount of disk space available is limited. By default, the OMERO virtual appliance is supplied with a 30GB virtual hard-drive. Before using the appliance you should consider the volume of data that you will need to work with whist evaluating OMERO and whether you should increase the size of the virtual hard-drive to suit your needs. The remainder of this page is a step-by-step guide that demonstrates how to increase your virtual hard-drive. Please bear in mind that this is not a risk-free procedure and that you should ensure that you have a backup of your Virtual Machine (VM) before proceeding.
