Hi
This release for ESXi is joke and crap. Just waste of my time.
Forget about checking SR-IOV as I got issues with basics.

Downloaded and deployed according to Getting Started Guide.
My machine is HP DL380p Gen8, Dual E5-2680v2, 256GB RAM, Intel 10GE NICs.
Hypervisor - ESXi 6.0 update 01

In the moment I will deploy again but now on ESXi 5.5 update 02 as
GSG recommends. But I don't feel it will change anything.


1) VCP - olive ?!? probably this is major problem as VM wasn't proper
detected

root at VCP> show version
Hostname: VCP
Model: olive
Junos: 15.1F4.15
JUNOS Base OS boot [15.1F4.15]


root at VCP> show chassis hardware
error: Unrecognized command (chassis-control)


root at VCP> show system license
                      ^
syntax error, expecting <command>.

2) VFP

last messages from console - stack at waiting for VCP :

/home/pfe/riot/phase2_launch.sh: line 154: /var/jnx/card/local/vm_type: No
such file or directory
/home/pfe/riot/phase2_launch.sh: line 157: /var/jnx/card/local/type: No

Waiting for RE to come up


Probably I will open JTAC case as we own some VMX commercial licenses
bought during
last MX purchase.
