Hello,
I'm deploying the V13 VSA in my Lab environment using the OVA. During initial deployment and initial setup I didn't see any option to select a keyboard layout, and defaults to US. Did I miss something?
Since I have a non-US keyboard (in this case German), it gets a bit awkward when I have to manually type in the initial veeamadmin password. Due to the strict password requirements, most of us will probably use a password manager to generate a secure password. It's complicated to copy/paste a password into the VMware console. And typing it manually is difficult when you don't know where certain special characters are, due to a different keyboard layout. You can use the show password option, but it's a lot of trial and error.
Also, when are the Storage Plugins going to be available, e.g. for PureStorage or Dell Powerstore? Currently I can only see those plugins available for a Windows VBR server, and only IBM FlashSystem has a Linux plugin download.
Just my 2 cents so far.
