New UAG v2012 - Unable to Assign IP using Powershell Deploy Script

[MayurPatel]

I am trying to deploy a new UAG 2012 using the Powershell script.

The deployment runs successfully but after over 10 attempts. The only thing that works after the ovf import completes successfully without any errors is only the correct Network adaptors get created correctly but the IP, Host name and Root Passwords details from the INI file details are not being applied.

Below is the excerpt from the INI file of the IP adaptor details I am using in the INI file.

# This section was added but does not seem to make any difference

ipMode=STATICV4
ip0AllocationMode=STATICV4
ip1AllocationMode=STATICV4

# Two NIC option

deploymentOption=twonic
ip0=172.16.1.10
netmask0=255.255.255.0
routes0=172.16.1.0/24 172.16.1.2, 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.1
ip1=172.16.1.11
netmask1=255.255.255.0
routes1=172.16.1.0/24 172.16.1.2, 192.168.199.0/24 192.168.199.2

dns=192.168.199.4

Host name fails to register/apply. The password also fails to apply from the INI file

IP details fail to register from the script

No errors but the deployment does not apply any details from the INI file.

Why do you want  to set IP in the same range with the same route in 2 differents interface. ? !!!

Just try to deploy in a 1 nic configuration

Thank you for your reply Eric!

The reason I am using two nics is because in my lab testing environment I have a DMZ vlan that I use for dual nic Netscaler /XenDesktop testing.

I have tried using the one nic option but for some strange reason, when i deploy it using the uagdeploy.ps1 script - the IP, Password, Hostname settings are not propagating to the UAG VM. I can't even logon to the appliance after it is deployed because the password is not being configured. From what I can observe, the configuration state of the NIC's remains set to DHCP instead of STATICV4.

Hope you can shed some light on the above.

I deployed the UAG ova using the vCenter option and that worked.

Not sure about others but the scripted method did not work for me at all.

I tried to use the UAG deployment tool and for some reason this is also failing with the below error log which I have also attached.
