It was almost 20 minutes before I was returned to a prompt to login and all process had started and the web interface was brought up. The automated configuration process will kick off after the last prompt (Enter password again for SSH user) and will take a long time. 
Answer each prompt with your specific network settings and preferences. At this point the steps are pretty self-explanatory and will be specific to your network. Your screen will clear and you’ll be returned to a prompt asking you to Enter hostname. At the prompt that says “localhost login:” type setup and press enter. Now that the appliance has been deployed to your ESX environment, we can fire it up and configure some basic settings. Initial Configuration of Your Cisco ISE Eval Virtual Appliance VMware will now begin building your VM using a combination of your selections and the settings stored within the ovf file. Review all your settings and click Finish. Select the Destination Network that your ISE server will be connected to and be addressed on and click Next.

Enter the following command in CMD prompt:. Create a new directory to store the new OVF files such as C:\Temp\OVF. Running the above command will result in the creation of two new files: Enter the following command in CMD prompt (while in the OVFTool install directory) to unpack the OVA into its’ VMX parts:. Crazy, I know, but it was the only way to get around the errors and it’s pretty simple to do (albeit time consuming) with the OVFTool from VMware. To get around that we need to convert the original OVA file to a VMX and then to an OVF file. 15:3:ATTRIBUTE_REQUIRED: Attribute “id” is required. 3:5:ATTRIBUTE_REQUIRED: Attribute “href” is required. 3.5:ATTRIBUTE_REQUIRED: Attribute “id” is required. If you do that you might find that you still run into the following errors when creating a vm from the OFV file: Now one might think we could just convert from OVA to OVF but that’s not the case. Change the directory to where you installed OVFtool:ĬD “C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool”. Open up a CMD prompt window as an Administrator. This is a command line tool so you won’t find it in your start menu anywhere. Now that we have our files and our tool we can finally get to work. The easiest tool to use to do this is the VMware Open Virtualization Format Tool. 
To solve this, we need to convert the OVA file to an OVF file. More specifically, you’ll get the following error: Unfortunately, starting in ESXi 6.5 you’ll receive errors when trying to create a VM from the OVA template. Move the downloaded files to a temporary directory such as C:\Temp\.
