Troubleshooting

Error: Connection failed

If you get a notification that the "Activation of network connection failed" within the OVA, change the VirtualBox network settings to be attached to "NAT" instead of "Bridged Adapter" mode.

Error: Insufficient Memory (RAM)

The OVA may be configured with an insufficient amount of Base Memory for the PF9 installation. Re-allocate the Base Memory to at least 12 GiB (12288 MB) in order for the PF9 installation to succeed.
