1. Re: Installing VCSA 6.5 in Workstation 14
Finikiez Jan 17, 2018 3:58 AM (in response to peter79)Hi!
Can you attach VM's VMX file here? And also can you confirm that modified VMX _before_ you powered on VCSA VM for the first time?

2. Re: Installing VCSA 6.5 in Workstation 14
peter79 Jan 17, 2018 6:12 AM (in response to Finikiez)I've attached the file and as you suspected. None of the information i entered into the Workstation import wizard is there. I would expect it to appear between "floppy.0 present" and "tools.upgrade.policy".
Unfortunately in workstation 14 when you import the VCSA OVA it starts the VM automatically after you complete the wizard. In previous versions the VM would be left in a powered off state after the import was completed.

Check instructions from William Lam. Maybe it can help https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2016/10/how-to-deploy-the-vcenter-server-appliance-vcsa-6-5-running-on-vmware-fusion-wor…

5. Re: Installing VCSA 6.5 in Workstation 14
peter79 Jan 22, 2018 1:15 AM (in response to Finikiez)If anyone is interested I found a solution.
There was a bug in the version of 6.5 I was using. I downloaded 6.5 update 1 and got past the issues. However I ran into further issues which lead to a different approach which was successful.
I ended up going for a nested deployment (installing VCSA/PSC on a virtual host deployed in workstation). I also ended up running the install wizard from the ISO instead of importing the OVA in workstation.
Hope this helps anyone else encountering this issue.
