Hi Guys,
I just installed ACS 5.1 using its ISO file in my VM Ware Player.
The installations looks good from beginning... and up till now I think the installation process is finish.
But I still not able to use https://<vmware player ip address>
What is the problem?
I ping my VMware player success.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You can try to boot from the iso and perform the password recovery. After performing the password recovery it should show you which admin account (default is admin) and use the keyboard monitor option to change the password and then issue the commands that Amjad mentioned above.
show application status acs should show you the status of the acs....also show application will show you if it is installed or not.
Thanks,
Tarik Admani

Did you mean I am not using admin password of the ACS configuration? So I need to do a password recovery sir?
I have created a username and password just when I push a create a new VM button on my VMware player software. Is this username-password not capable to start that ACS configuration sir?

Totardo: i think i got your problem.
What OS u chose when you created the VM? You recreate a VM and choose ( I will install the operating system later).
Do not choose other options because other options will detect the OS automatically and capture some information from you for unattended installation. This does not work with the ACS installation.
Try again, set the VM parameters manually and you'll get the wizard successfully this time.

Alright! I try your suggestion and it works! Picture 4. I press 1 and process goes but stop because of this error Picture 5.
Assigned Hard disk drive = 60 GB. The IOS agree with that, and it decide to go to evaluation version.
Can you help me, what is this "kickstart.KickstartValueError: specified disk sda in partition command which does not exist" ?

Thanks for your help Amjad...
Yes, I went through the wizard once.
And then the wizard stop then tell me to enter my localhost login (picture 1): < I should filled this with what? My acs username or my localhost login? But I don't entered any ACS username yet>
I entered it with my own username along with my password that was asked by the machine when I started to instal the image on VM. After I entered my localhost login and password I came into another prompt "$". After this prompt apear, I enter 'setup' command. Then I came into 'Choose a Tool' window (picture 2)
So how can I get into this below:
localhost login: setup
Enter hostname[]: acs-server-1

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
During the installation processes the point in which the ACS is being stalled to the point of rebooting may take up to 15 minutes, depending on your computer speed so be patient.

You have a temp license? If so, 60gb minimum is needed when you configure vm. Did you set this in vm or did you just let vm set the defaults? You need to configure this before starting up your vm.
From what I remember, the screen shots you posted, ACS did not install properly and the OS was the only thing installed.

Thank you Scott for your help.
Yes, I have the license. First I let the VM assigned the GB then on my second try I try to manually change it to 70GB without reinstalling it from the first though. The result is same..
on my third attempt, I reinstall it, this time using 70GB. Same sequence of installation process, same results
on my fourth, I take another ISO file. Different ISO then before. Go install it. But again the result is still the same
I give up I will give it another try this weekend.
Thanks Scott

I will try to see if I can bring it up using vm player this weekend. I have it running on VM Workstation and ESXi 5 in a lab.

Scott: the requirements are independent from the license. It will check for disk space during (or actually before) the installation while you can install the license after you are done with the installation. So there should be no problem with the disk space if it is 60 GB+.
try it yourself and see.

Amjad

I understand that... I jumped the gun and was thinking of a production ACS. What I want to see if player does something different and if it's isolated to player.

Here is what you need to do using VM Player
You can run a minimum of 60.0 GB
Choose the ISO file you want to install
Choose #1
The VM will finish the install and reboot
Type setup and enjoy!
