It looks like its network connectivity. Second page of the pdf "Management IP: 192.18.80.46", I think the second octet you meant x.168.x.x.

thank you, i will double check that.

i ran setup again, and this is the sosetup.log now. I also think it might be a connection problem because of all the "cannot resolve" messages. ALSO, not sure about what IP to enter in the Management IP, Gateway and Monitor propmpts. Cannot find documentation on what IPs to enter.
thanks again for taking a look. Please let me know if you see anything else advice.

yeah it looks like still ip connection problem but you have two options. On page 1 screenshot, make sure your VMware workstation "VMnet4" (assuming that is the Management int) make sure it is set to "bridge". I assume that might be your issue. you should be able to ping 192.168.50.44 from your vm host machine...

Second solution is during installation the first or second question choose "air gapped" network setup. That should work to complete the install... You still need the network issue though

Hi TotieBash, hope all is well. Thank you for the advice. YEA , looks like it installed. I added the bridge network and selected airgap as you suggested.

I am sending you the new PDF. Now, as you can see if have new issues, plus looking at the network. I cannot ping to 192.168.50.44.
