Cisco ASAv 9.4.1 and ASDM 7.4.1 in Workstation / ESXi (1)

,
Cisco released ASA Software Version 9.4(x) on March 2015. Thre are some new features from release note in the Cisco website. I am going to give it a try to add it into my testing environment using Vmware workstation or ESXi. Some old ASA versions have been tested in my previous posts:

Download ASA v 9.4.1

Here are some download links we could find from Internet.
1. Cisco Software Download Site

2. from http://pan.baidu.com/s/1gdiZ7kJ (Link has been removed)


Problems when importing into Vmware Workstation / ESXi

1. Using OVA file

But When tried to open in the workstation, there is error which says "Line 264: Unsupported element 'Property'."

Tried again in ESXi 5.5, File -> Deploy OVF Template ...
But it seems same error message when tried to open downloaded asav941.ova file.
"
The OVF package requires support for OVF Properties
Line 264: Unsupported element 'Property'.
"


2. Using vmdk File

I thought I may use vmdk's file to add them into workstation or ESXi. I did find a vmware package from http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kT25ngz with following files:

Unfortunately, it does not boot properly into configuration mode. Eventually it will dip into a reboot loop. Captured screenshots with my testing in Vmware workstation and ESXi show all steps below:

2.1. Opened in the Vmware Workstation


 2.2. Since my Vmware Workstation host does not support VT-x, it will not be able to power on.

2.3. Workstation Connect to ESXi

2.4. Upload workstation vm into ESXi. That was successful




2.5. ESXi vm's configuraiton

 2.6. It got into a rebooting loop.

      You will not need a license for your personal testing. Until you install a license, throughput is limited to 100 Kbps for your vASA.

      Hope somebody can find a way to get a temp license for learning. Limited throughput is not convenient for us to test the application.
