Sorry in advance about the length, but I though this might be useful for other people trying this code.
Ok, so I decided to put a new virtual 9800-CL into my litte lab. First of all, ESX 6.7, don't recommend trying that one, while booting mine got stuck in a PXE boot loop, dunno what that's about.
So I tried another ESX host I have running with 6.0 and after some fiddling around I got it running, first installtion got stuck at booting process on grub2, but my second atempt got passed that and I now have CLI access at least. So I did a few small configuration, setting IP address on Gig 2, gateway and ntp. I also removed "service config" which tries to download configuration files from a broadcast address which I don't understan why it's there by default.
Anyway, finally into the GUI and I got hit with a zerodaywireless config. A bit buggy, it didn't accept when I typed SE since it was an invalid country code, but low and behold, when I used the "+" sign and added "Sweeden" (nice typo there) it was "ok". Followed up with configuring another IP address (not sure why it's mandatory to configure my OOB) but I did it anyway since they required it. I tried creating an SSID (and ignoring that part) and the last past was some rf group and generating certificate for WLC so AP could join. Done with all of that, hit finish, WLC tells me I'll be logged out and give it a minute to apply the configuration. Meawhile I have the console up and you would not believe the amount of tracebacks that pops up there :).
So I logged in again and what hits me, the dayzerowireless config I just did... so, I redid the configuration again, and again, and again and again... you kind of get where I'm going here, I tried various alternatives but no matter what I do I can not get into the gui and to start and play around to learn it. My ESX host (an intel NUC, with 16GB of RAM 4 virtual core so I fulfill that requirement) only has one NIC, which means there's some sharing there, not sure if that causes a problem for me.
Anyway, a long shot from me, is there anyone who know of something I can type in the CLI that can get me pass that **bleep** zerodaywireless config I hit when I login with the GUI, it's driving me nuts. Any help at all will be appreciated, can't really go to Cisco TAC cause you know... no support on this one yet.
