Cisco CML

[kfausch]

I am working on setting up a Cisco CML environment on an ESXI host, but during the setup process it does not recognize the ISO. I created the VM using the provided OVA and configured the VM to connect to the ISO file at start up. Is there something I am missing? I've tried it a few times and even deleted the server and started over.

Error I get:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello @kfausch ,

you downloaded the ova file, installed in the Esxi host and you got to the point of editing VM's properties - the firs image.

Now you have to attach the second file you download from Cisco, refplat_p-20230117-fcs.iso.zip, after you unzip it - this is what the message in the second picture is telling you.

Have a look at the CML installation guide for reference - https://developer.cisco.com/docs/modeling-labs/#!cml-installation-guide
