XoS in Vmware ESXi

XoS in Vmware ESXi

Quick question, can the virtual XOS image that seems to be designed for virtual box be made to run on Vmware ESXi, the reason for this request is we already have virtual versions of most vendor products, this can be connected together inside the ESXi Environment, this is great for training and simulating customer issues. However try as I might I cannot convert this to run in ESXi.

I'm not sure why your VM is stuck in this mode now. You might have better luck with a fresh install at this point. If you need the ISO file instead of the .xos file for this, I should be able to share that with you.

Hi Drew
After using your suggestion I can boot into (pacman). Once reboot the machine go back in the initial state showing boot menu (not grub). Maybe there is something I should do here after using option "o", "s" and "c".

In the above screen I used "export" and exit.

Hi Njanyana,
Have you tried any of the options presented in the boot menu?

Please try 'o' to restore original settings and then 's' to save. Then try 'c' to continue boot. Reboot once more to see if the settings stuck.

I haven't tried the VMs under Qemu and don't know what may have changed that prevents the upgrade from booting...
