In reply to Dimitris Aslanidis. Awesome, yes give it a try. I have never deployed an enterprise OVF like this using ESXi only. Let us know

Jorge,

Thanks for your reply, I have already performed that process and the VSA does get deployed, however the steps missing to set the network and password make it difficult. Since this is a VM I was able to get to it even though I don’t have a DHCP server in that network, but for some reason the default password is not working for me at all. That was the last thing I could try.
I will look for a OVF editor I think is available from vmware to see if I can modify it.

Thank you.

Thank you for this guide, however although this is for vsphere 7, the guide assumes you deploy via vcenter, which I do not have and I don’t get the options to edit the OVF options, most importantly the network. How can we do this without vcenter?
