"invalid/missing configuration property 'vsa.license'.

Data ONTP startup failed - initiating shutdown.

Hi Arun,

Welcome to communities,

On seeing the error message i have couple of questions

>"invalid/missing configuration property 'vsa.license'.

1. Are you starting the vapp from VC/VI client?

2. Have you done vm setup and given VSA license when -- vm setup wizard prompts for it.

The above error means license was not provided.

HI Venkat,

I fixed it ..the problem was actually with the password instead of 8 char i provided 7 by mistake.But i am suprise how did it allow to accept the password with 7 char and if it accepted then why is the boot problem.

Many thanks to you for quick response.

Thanks

Arun
