Unable to deploy BIGIP-13.1.1-0.0.4.ALL-scsi.ova in ESXi 6.0.0 Update 2

Hi Neil,

Can you try using VMware OVF Tool?

1. Download OVF Tool and install.

https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/ovf/

2. Copy ova file to D on windows.

3. Open cmd.

4. Change directory.

cd C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool

5. Deploy ova. Example command:

ovftool.exe --acceptAllEulas --datastore="MDEV_ESX_POOL" --net:"mgmt.addr"="VM Network" D:BIGIP-13.1.1-0.0.4.ALL-scsi.ova vi://172.16.12.12

vi://172.16.12.12 »»» VMware IP address

D:BIGIP-13.1.1-0.0.4.ALL-scsi.ova »»» Ova file location

--datastore="MDEV_ESX_POOL" »»» datastore name

--net:"mgmt.addr"="VM Network" »»» interface names. You may encounter error for this. You correct the interface names according to the error.
