I am trying to deploy vSAN File Services on a platform that isnt connected to the internet, when I try to manually deploy the agent, I select the files downloaded from the VMware site, and then if I click Next...nothing happens it just hangs.
Is there are way to do this via cli etc? If I place the OVF files in a datastore/content library, or has someone seen this happen elsewhere?
If my memory does not fail me, the vSAN File Services Photo OS VMs, are in .OVF format inside vCenter and it comes there when is installed. From where did you get the agent?
From my understanding reading the instructions the vCenter downloads the appliance when it has connectivity to the internet, I am unable to give the vCenter access to the internet.
Unfortunately due to the nature of this platform I cannot post any logs.
I can report however that after a reboot of the vCenter I managed to deploy the VSAN FS appliances, however, due to an issue on the network I then had to disable VSAN File Services, when I now try to redeploy I get the same hanging error, and a reboot (multiple) doesnt solve the issue.
This doesnt work for me because the URL is an issue, however I am thinking if I can manually put the ovf files in the location the vCenter GUI checks against, it should let me progress, I just cannot find anywhere that documents that location.
The only you did was reboot vCenter and that let you deploy it? It is weird that in random occasions is working just fine. Are you deploying these appliances in Standard Switches or VDS?
