PMM deployment in VMware vSphere

Hi All,

Has anyone successfully deployed PMM 3 in VMware vSphere using OVA installation as described in

?

Sincerely,
Ra

Hi Ra,

Could you provide the error that you faced during an installation?

When trying to import PMM v3.1.0 virtual appliance into VMware vSphere v7, there is this error:

Issues detected with selected template. Details: - -1:-1:VALUE_ILLEGAL: No supported hardware versions among [virtualbox-2.2]; supported: [vmx-04, vmx-07, vmx-08, vmx-09, vmx-10, vmx-11, vmx-12, vmx-13, vmx-14, vmx-15, vmx-16, vmx-17, vmx-18, vmx-19].

Hi Raku,
Please check steps for resolving the issue in the next comment.

Hi Vadim,

We followed the steps described in the link you shared.

When trying to import, it is showing an error:
"The provided manifest file is invalid: Invalid OVF checksum algorithm: SHA1"

We tried the same steps both on Linux and Windows, on several servers.

Do you have a Virtual Appliance (.ova) file that can be deployed without modification in VMware vSphere?

Sincerely,
Ra

Hi,

Unfortunately, we do not have a Virtual Appliance file that can be deployed without modification to vSpere.
