vWLC Installation on physical machine

[c1szhibin]

I was planning to install a virtual wireless LAN controller on a physical machine.

But I failed to install when i enter the “bash” mode look like a linux user-interface. 

I wanna know if vwlc has to be installed based on vmware environment?

even if I use iso file instead of ova?

File name: AIR-CTVM-k9-8-1-102-0.iso

Q: I wanna know if vwlc has to be installed based on vmware environment?

A. Yes it installed  based on vmware environment

For deployment and management of the vWLC, you will need to download any of these VMware suites to the workstation:

• Single ESXi server management - Use VMware vSphere Client.

• Multiple ESXi servers requires vCenter - Advance features are also tied with vCenter which needs separate licenses (vMotion, and so on).

 Please go through  the below complete configuration guide of vWLC.
