Re: DSC is not coming up for LTM VEs after initial setup

The answer to my initial question - yes, it is possible to configure DSC with VE v13, at least, using LAB license. But this requires 8 GB of RAM and 4 CPUs per VE. Not sure if this can be performed with Trial or Evaluation licenses as I have no possibility to test this.

    Hey Oleksandr

     

    So you solved the problem by simply increasing the RAM and CPU count? Or did you move from your laptop to the ESXi environment?

     

    I have ran HA environments on even less than 4gb per BIG-IP and it has worked flawlessly. As I mentioned before, the only time the HA would not work is when I used an evaluation license. As soon as I used a 45 day license or a bought VE Lab license, it worked perfectly.

    Hi Philip

     

    I have moved from VMware Fusion to ESXi environment (from laptop to external LAB environment). ESXi environment gave an opportunity to allocate more resources to each VM. I agree this might be an issue with the Evaluation license. As far as I know the Trial is for 90 days. And evaluation is for 30 days. Could you tell what is the license for 45 days?

     

    Thank you!
