+The following was done with VirtualBox 6.1 
+
+File->Import Appliance  
+Navigate to OVA & import
+
+  
+Start VM  
+It will hang:
+
+  
+After several minutes:  
+ 
+
+Boot into rescue mode:
+
+Login as cortx/opensource!
+
+  
+Sudo to root
+
+Based on info found here, do the following to   
+ 
+
+Wait approx. 30 seconds
+
+Reboot (default boot option)  
+ 
+
+Network names won’t be what CORTX expects & configures:  
+  
+CORTX seems to want the ens\* names, so force udev to rename by getting hw addr from ifconfig and adding to ifcfg\* files:  
+Get hw addresses for existing interfaces:  
+\[root@localhost ~\]# cat /sys/class/net/enp0s3/address  
+08:00:27:11:86:fb  
+\[root@localhost ~\]# cat /sys/class/net/enp0s8/address  
+08:00:27:c7:22:cb  
+\[root@localhost ~\]# cat /sys/class/net/enp0s9/address  
+08:00:27:cf:53:4e
+
+Update network config scripts in /etc/init.d/network/scripts to add HWADDR lines to map the above to preferred names during udev rename\_devices phase:
+
+\[root@localhost ~\]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens192  
+TYPE=Ethernet  
+PROXY\_METHOD=none  
+BROWSER\_ONLY=no  
+BOOTPROTO=dhcp  
+DEFROUTE=yes  
+IPV4\_FAILURE\_FATAL=no  
+IPV6INIT=yes  
+IPV6\_AUTOCONF=yes  
+IPV6\_DEFROUTE=yes  
+IPV6\_FAILURE\_FATAL=no

+DEVICE=ens192  
+ONBOOT=yes  
+ZONE=public  
+HWADDR=08:00:27:11:86:fb
+
+(do the same with other two with corresponding MACs)

+Reboot
