Verify the Integrity of
Installation Media
After you download the media, use the
MD5/SHA1 sum value to verify the integrity of the download. Always verify the MD5/SHA1 hash
after you download an OVA/OVF, offline bundle, or patch to ensure the integrity and
authenticity of the downloaded files. If you obtain physical media from VMware and the
security seal is broken, return the software to VMware for a replacement.
- Compare the MD5/SHA1/SHA256 hash output with the value posted on the VMware website.SHA256, SHA1, or MD5 hash should match.TheVMware Aria Operations7.x-x.pak/8.x-x.pakfiles are signed by the VMware software publishing certificate.VMware Aria Operationsvalidates the signature of the PAK file before installation.
