How to install Yeastar IP-PBX Software Edition on Unraid VM

[Dan-E]

I am trying to install a software based ip-pbx from yeastar.

Yeastar supplied a guide for esxi here https://help.yeastar.com/en/p-series-software-edition/software-installation-guide/install-yeastar-p-series-software-edition-on-vmware-esxi.html

 

Using the the iso they provided I can make it work on esxi but not on my unraid server running 6.11.4

Should I have to change any vm settings on unraid to make this work?

 

Thanks in advance.

Does the ISO contain an Appliance i.e. vmdk files as these would need to be extracted and converted to work on Unraid.

It is a customized iso containing ubuntu server files and should be bootable. Booted it successfully in esxi.

Have you made sure the VM is set to boot from the ISO image?   You do not give any indication of how you have set up the VM on Unraid and what happens when you try and start it?  Perhaps if you post the XML for the VM then someone might spot something.

Have you tried SeaBIOS instead of OVMF?

According to the screenshot you have the VM set to boot off the vdisk, and not the ISO.   From you earlier description I thought you needed to boot off the ISO?

vdisk is still empty. even if i disabled the vdisk the iso still cannot boot.

You will need to delete and re-create the template. Is the CD bootable not sure if it has to be for vmware?

Did you make sure that the .iso has boot order=1 set?

SeaBIOS fixed it. Thanks!
