Running LTM(big-ip) on Vmware ?

Hi bzzjh,

 

 

This is expected. The license activation process ties the registration code to key hardware components to ensure the key can only be used on a single unit. The vmware hardware profile won't match what F5 expects from their branded kit. Currently, they don't support the public running their software in vmware. There is an existing request for them to support this. If you check this post (Click here), you can see how to open a case with F5 to request they support this in the future. I also included some examples of business justification for this. The more people open a case asking for wmware support, the more visibility the request gets.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron
