I am deploying the new v13 VSA using the OVA method in my lab VMware environment today and discovered when deploying you could see an SSL warning for the OVA like this -

SSL Warning and Ignore option

 

There is a fix for this but it requires that you install two CA certificates from Entrust to the vCenter Trusted Root Store which can be done from the WebUI.  Once those are installed to your vCenter then deploying the OVA will not give you the SSL warning and show a valid certificate.

CA Certificates to install -

Entrust CA Certificates to install in Trusted Root Store on vCenter

After that when deploying OVA no more warning and valid certificate -

Trusted Certificate for OVA deployment of VSA

Hopefully this helps those that are keen on testing things in your lab environments.

Thanks for share Chirs!

I don’t know about you, but I still preffer deploy VSA on ISO format.

Not a problem happy to help the community.  The VSA OVA format is nice for those that have a hypervisor that supports it because it makes things a bit quicker.  The ISO you need to create the VM, attach it, then go.  With this it is deploy OVA and power on to configure.  Similar steps but to me the OVA is a bit faster.  To each their own. 😁

Definitely using the JeOS for other servers which is ISO format so we will see.
