[V13] OVA installation feedback

[murathan]

I'd like to offer a few suggestions regarding issues that may arise during and after installation.

1. I'm experiencing issues with MFA authentication during the initial installation. It would be better if Veeam provided its own authentication tool.

2. The initial installation process varies between ESX versions. ESX7 and ESX8 install with a few errors.

3. Instructions should be provided if the console or host password is forgotten.

4. While a typical installation on Windows requires 150-200 GB of disk space, a total of 480 GB in v13 seems excessive.

Performance testing hasn't been completed yet. I'll back up various disk spaces and run tests. I'll share the information.

1. There are no known issue with that at the moment, could you open a support case so we take a look.

2. Same, it would be good to know details as you're first to report any sort of issues after many thousands downloads.

3. These should be available in the User Guide, I remember seeing pages about setting/resetting password recently when looking for something else.

4. This is because of the second disk which is required to dump all data to from the first disk during future major OS upgrades. Think of it as a future-proof design required for us to provide fully managed appliance experience, including automated updates and upgrades.
