TIPS 3 OVF/ESXi Questions

[AntonVP]

Hi All,

I would really appreciate some guidance after deploying following VMWare Template:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pbx... GUI/VMware/IncrediblePBX13-Full.zip/download

Once deployed I ran system-config-network and was able to SSH into the box.
Once inside I have noticed that all script in /root are 0 bytes.
Checked MD5 and redeployed 3 times on Esxi5.5 with same results…

Q1. Does this image have IncrediblePBX and PIAF or they have to be downloaded and compiled after deploying the template?

Q2. Should I use above template or just create a Guest VM from IncrediblePBX13.2.iso file?
Was template OS modified in any way to run on VMWare or I could get the same results by starting from scratch and deploying from ISO? What is the difference (from OS and PIAF standpoint) between OVF and ISO on ESXi?

Q3. Has anyone experienced Q1 behavior when files are present but they are empty?

Thanks,

-A

1. If there are zero byte files in /root, you've got a bad download.

2. Using the ISO will work equally well and give you the same result.

3. Yes. I recall this happening but can't quite remember why. May have been a bad VMware setup.
