![]() ![]() ![]() This time it powers up but when we try to get into AV console, we get blanked. You might not face this, but remember we are using a low spec system. ![]() We still had some minor issues, such as the error stating that the virtual CPU configured were more than the physical – in this case, it was simply right clicking the VM – Edit Settings -> CPUs and lowering the number of CPUs from 8 to 4. This will allocate a minimal footprint for your image and grow as you store logs. Head over to Just use default settings BUT choose ‘Thin Provisioning’ as disk format to avoid having to pre-allocate the full amount of disk space. Of course, you obviously have to download the Trial AV first. Once you had your VM server up, you just download the client and deploy the AV OVF using File -> Deploy OVF Template. We re-did the image to 5.1 and rebooted to USB – this time, we got through without any issue, and VMWare ESXi was installed! Why they removed the support, I have no idea. At this point we have 3 options:Ī) Hack the image and inject the drivers of our network adapter in (I believe it was Realtek 8168 GB Ethernet)ī) Purchase and set up an adapter that is in the compatibility list at įortunately we had an older version of VMWare a few years back in our network drive and we chose to take the path of C), since Realtek was supported by VMWare then. Immediately we got hit with an unsupported network adapter and basicall VMWare refused to go on. We set up the BIOS to boot from USB and immediately got into the installation portion for VM. So we used the extremely useful Rufus () tool to burn the ISO image we downloaded from at VMWare . This wasn’t so difficult, you have basically two choices:Ī) Boot with a CD, with a VMWare ISO imageī) Boot from USB, if your BIOS supports it.Īs it turns out, our BIOS was able to support USB boot. The first issue was that there was no CD drive. So before we even get AV up and running, we had to coax our machine to run VM. Getting VMWare ESXi or VSphere running in an old machine was a different story. We faced several issues, which I will put it down in this article and a few others to guide others in installing AV product in their network.ĪlienVault is actually quite easy to install. We decided to get an old server we had lying around the office and turn it into our AV (AlienVault) machine using a trial license (30-day full spec). ![]()
