Setting Up the Greenbone Security Manager TRIAL (GSM TRIAL) Virtual Machine

With GOS 20.08.7 and later, the GSM TRIAL is available in OVA instead of ISO format. This makes the installation and setup process a lot easier.

OVA files can be imported directly into a hypervisor. Aside from the import process, no installation is necessary and the virtual machine can be started directly after the import!

The GSM TRIAL 20.08 will support the following hypervisors going forward:

  • Oracle VirtualBox 6.1 or later
  • VMware Workstation Pro 16 or later
  • VMware Workstation Player 16 or later

You can find the OVA files for download as well as a detailed setup instruction here:
