Use LineRate in Dev environment in Parallels

Hi Mark, sorry to hear you had trouble when trying to use LineRate. I think the problem is likely the hardware interfaces that Parallels presents are not supported by the LineRate system's included hardware drivers. Unfortunately as you can see from the documentation under installation (http://docs.lineratesystems.com/093Release_2.5/100Getting_Started_Guide/120Installing_Proxy) hypervisor support currently includes VMWare and KVM.

It may still be possible to get LineRate running within Parallels, however it wouldn't exactly be a supported environment. You may want to experiment with specific network adapter settings.

If possible, you might try installing via the ISO image instead of the OVA, in case something odd is happening with the OVFTool conversion.

I wish I had more experience using Parallels so that I could be more helpful. On the support team, we all use VMWare on our local systems for running LineRate test environments (and KVM and ESXi in the labs). Additional virtualization technology support is planned for future releases, but as of version 2.5.x we haven't provided all of the guarantees for seamless support of LineRate in Parallels.

If you do get a chance to mess with the VM settings and get LineRate running, definitely let us know what you did!
