Can't load pfSense on ESXi 4.1
-
I'm not sure i'm going about this the right way, but this worked for most of the other appliances that I have used in the past.
I DL'd the file (latest stable for VMware).
Unzipped to directory
uploaded directory to datastore vie vsphere client
clicked on the vmx file and hit add to inventory.
I walked through the defaults, but in the end it says the vm is unknown and invalid.what can I do here?
-
try using vmware converter select your vmx and convert it to esxi.
-
Its the difficult way to do it….Just DL the ISO file and install normally via VM console....
-
Ok, got it. thanks. It took me a few shots, but the converter worked in the end. I'll start with this and maybe load from iso on the next build.
regards,
