Hi 

The process is the same as given here - 

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/technology/mesh/8-2/b_Virtual_Wireless_LAN_Controller_Deployment_Guide_8-2.html#id_10331

If you are having an issue with the ova file.. then you can try this ... 

+ untar the ova file and upload .iso to the datastore

+ deploy ova file in esxi .. ignore ethe error

+ edit vm setting and just change the iso file on the cdrom to the one uploaded to vmware datastore.

+ reboot the vWLC and complete installation
