BIGIP 11.1.0 ISO on VMworkstation 8?

Hi, Anyone had any luck running .iso on vmware workstation 8 yet? I was hoping that I could possibly get away from building ESXi installtion and install .iso on workstation. Possible? Procedure? Thank...

Workstation is not supported, but many people got VE to work on workstation 7. Have you tried installing the ISO on a new VM on workstation 8? You will probably need to edit the vmx file to change the adapter type to vmxnet3:

 

 

ethernet1.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"

 

 

Do this for all but ethernet0.virtualDev (which is used for the LTM mgmt interface).
