Hey, where did u get the ISO? It's being so hard to get it since Broadcom bought vMware..

[michaelpietrzak]

Very nice! Any hints on how to export the config and reimport on a new installation?

Have you encountered the “an error occured while starting service “vc-ws1a-broker” in stage 2? I have VCSA 8.02 so the update should have worked in my lab but have no progress

A question on the host that is running the VCSA instance. If you have like vMotion active to migrate hosts from a failed hosts (i.e. ESXI) to another ESXI in a cluster, what manages that? If its vCenter what happens if the host that contains the VCSA instance? does it just fail and not migrate anything over?

[johnnymclemore]

Do you download the ISO file to a VM that you then install vCenter 8 onto? Or does it get installed onto a physical host within the network?

Hello, I have installed and configured vcsa successfully. But so far I am not able to access VCSA using the browser. I have tried on the domain-joined machine, and I have updated the "hosts" file in the system as well. Still, I am not able to access it. Please if you can guide me on this issue.
