HPE Oneview appliance first time boot options

[gerardoP]

Hello,

I'm trying to boot an HPE Oneview appliance in KVM and I'm always getting to a point where the instance reports to be run into an 'unrecoverable error'. 

In a different setup this works. The only difference I can think about is that in the case where it's failing I'm booting it with a fixed IP address already configured for the instance.

So, my question is, does the first boot have to occur through DHCP? 

Thanks

Hello,

Based on the statement above, it appears that the OneView is unable to boot and is experiencing an unrecoverable error. I recommend opening a support case with HPE, as this issue will require analysis. Additionally, I hope you have a valid backup of the appliance.

cheers...

How are you attempting to boot with a fixed IP address?  We do not offer a method to inject or embed a static IP address within the VM image.
