Any time frame on this release?

In the next few weeks.

The Ruckus vSZ ova file comes bundled with VMWare tools installed
SCI 2.0 ova does not. So besides the inability to set the IP address of SCI 2, VMWare tools would need to be installed via the command line. It appears that SCI 2 needs a little more work before it can be installed

Hi David,

Yes, the assumption for SCI 2.0 is that the VMware environment/tools are fully available.

When you say fully available, do you mean you will be including the tools in an upcoming release? In other words, when the ova file is pulled into VMWare, the tools will have already been installed just like the vSZ ova file?
