When will the installation guide for SCI 2.0 be posted?

[michael_brado]

There are two more SCI 2.0 Documents, the Installation Guide and User Guide.

FYI - the documentation for SCI 2.0 is incomplete. At the moment there is no way to assign an IP address to a fresh install of SCI. Normally after installing any ova you are directed to login at the command line of the vm, run some type of setup routine to set network parameters like IP address, and then off to a web browser to do the rest of the work. This is exactly how vSZ is installed.

There are no such directions in the install guide for SCI 2.0. At the command line I cannot login at all. This VM lives in my sever vlan (along with my 45 other windows/linux servers) and there is no a DHCP scope setup for this vlan. Servers never get IP addresses assigned via DHCP, they always get static addresses. I opened a case with support and they are looking into it

Hi David,

Yes, you are right. Right now, SCI 2.0 doesn't allow for manual IP address assignment right now and it expects an IP assignment from a DHCP.

However, we will be having a release very soon that will allow you to manually assign IP addresses and the documentation will be updated accordingly.

So stay tune.
