Hi...

I've the exact same thing, but it turns out, if you wait long enough it will start up everything and you web services like vSphere web client and Appliance mangager works as it should.

but it will take up to about 10 minutes and if you want to see the same thing on the consol as shown after installation , then perss Alt + F2 and there you are.

It works as it should.... If you have patience enough.

But it will show only the login screen after restarte until you press Alt + F2

After pressing Alt + F2

So bottom line... It works

But thanks anyway

When you only give the appliance 2 vCPUs you increase its start-up time. Couple that with under-performing storage and you could easily have start-up times at or over 10 minutes. This isn't a failure of the appliance or its design, but a natural limitation of resources with which you're providing it.
