Once you have downloaded the OVA, you can use Command Center to deploy the Linux VSA if OVA image is placed in an access node using additional setting FrelOvaLocation:

Other option I am more familiar is to do deploy the image from VMware console:

hi,

 

thanks :) However if you are in a software environment with no access to the internet (dark site), then you cannot automatically download the OVA file. :) :) 

 

The good dark site.

 

Is this key on commserve ?

The key needs to be defined on the Windows VSA where you have downloaded the OVA.

@SSchmidt you will have to download the OVA manually and copy it over the the VSA which is listed as the first access node in the hypervisor configuration as this VSA acts as the controller node. Set the key as mentioned and populate it with the path to the file. Run the OVA deployment procedure again and you'll see that it works. I have used the key on conjunction with Windows and Linux VSAs and it works as a charm.
