how to resume deploying vcenter server appliance

I was running the Deploymnet of vcenter server appliance. After the VM was created inside the ESX server , i got error that the vcenter server could not power on due to swap issues . I fix the issue and i could power on the VM . How can i resume the process form where it stopped. because if i start from beginning it will stop again at the same point ..

Hi,

does the vCenter boot up until there is a blue screen at the console (yes blue, not the windows blue screen error Smiley Wink )

If yes you can open a browser, go to https://ip-of-your-appliance:5480 and configure it.

Not sure if VCVA is booting from Network. Can you please change boot option of the VM to hardisk. If it is there then there might be chances that OS got courrupted. It would be helpful if you can share the screenshot of the error.

As per the error its trying to boot from PXE.

Thanks,

Dishank

I would recommend to inspect what is causing this swap error and deploy the Appliance new.

Also check the checksums of your downloaded ova file. Maybe your download is corrupt?
