F5 GUI access

Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Hey Ezce,

Correct. Previoulsy in Unetlab , i was able to boot up a few images for F5 Load Balancer.

Only in EVE - NG , the console is not working if you run the below command.

1. /opt/qemu/bin/qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 hda.qcow2 --- this command can be execute.
2. mount /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt/hgfs/ --- > unable to run as output mentioned special device nbd0p1 does not exist.

Therefore , would like to know if anybody else is having this problem or am i the only one.

Thank you very much for your response.

Hi - i have F5 license install on ESXi 6.0 and i use that same image converted to hda and hdb in EVE-NG and i also use same MAC of F5 in ESXi but that same license F5 shown as inactive in EVE-NG. Do i have to buy another F5 liscense for EVE-NG?

thanks,

I guess you should contact F5 for a rehosting....
