Installing NetScaler VPX on VMware ESX 4.0

Installing NetScaler VPX on VMware ESX 4.0

After you have installed and configured VMware ESX 4.0, you can use VMware
vSphere client to install one or more instances of NetScaler VPX on the VMware
ESX. Each instance is a virtual NetScaler appliance. The number of instances that
you can install depends on the amount of memory available on the hardware that
is running VMware ESX.

To install NetScaler VPX on VMware ESX 4.0 by using VMware vSphere
Client

1. Start the VMware vSphere client on your workstation.
2. In the IP address / Name text box, type the IP address of the VMware ESX
server that you want to connect to.
3. In the User Name and Password text boxes, type the administrator
credentials, and then click Login.
4. On the File menu, click Deploy OVF Template.
5. In the Deploy OVF Template dialog box, in Deploy from file, browse to
the location at which you saved the NetScaler VPX setup files, select the
.ovf file, and click Next.
6. Map the networks shown in the VPX OVF template to the networks that
you configured on the ESX host. Click Next to start installing VPX on
VMware ESX. When installation is complete, a pop-up window informs
you of the successful installation

Error: Failed to lock the file

I am installing  NetScaler VPX and I ran into an issue with the ESX server.

I ran into an issue where I could not power on my ESX server.
I was getting this error “

The solution is to go into the ***vmdk.lck folder and rename the .lck to .txt.

The server starts right up after that change.
