The software installation menu will not be visible in the installation wizard by default. If you want to do JSA software installation, refer to JSA Software only Installations.

After you create your virtual machine, you must install the JSA software on the virtual machine.

FIPS mode only: On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9 start menu, click Tab to edit the vmlinuz line.

FIPS mode only: Add qradar.fips=1 to the vmlinuz line and click Enter.
