Is BIG-IP VE TRIAL compatible with VMware Workstation 15 ?
This is my experience: I was using the evaluation version Workstation 10 and BIG-IP VE TRIAL version 13.1.1 I had no issues. My evaluation period for the Workstation 10 was over - I decided to purchase the license- I was redirected to download latest Workstation 15. Initially the upgrade went well.... My linux vm worked ... However when I started the BIG-IP i was requested to upgrade my vm...hmmm. Which I did . I then started having issues .. the VM was not stable .... also I could no longer ping /communicate over the bridge NIC ( between the local machine and BIG-IP) .. They virtual nic ( hosts) seemed to be ok Contacted Vmware - and started the process to downgrade from Workstation 15 back to Workstation 10. I can now ping over the bridge local machine and BIG-IP. I have not completed my testing ... BUT ... the configs that I had ( i two instances of BIG-IP) ... no longer works ... VMware gives me an error saying "that the configuration file xxxx.vmx was created by a VMware product that is incompatible with this version of VMware workstation" It looks like when I upgraded to Workstation 15 my config files were modified and now are no longer compatible with lower version 10.... scary !! This is a LAB in environment .. I can always recreate my config.... but what would happen in a Production Environment ??? Anyone have any comments to add ??? Sergio
