ESXi host client fails to deploy a virtual machine (VM) from the BIG-IP OVA file (probably because BIG-IP vmdk files are compressed).
ESXi 6.5 does not support VMware vSphere Client, and failure to deploy via the ESXi host client leaves ovftool or booting off the product ISO as the only known viable options for ESXi 6.5.
Deploying BIG-IP OVA by ESXi.
Deploy the BIG-IP system by creating a new VM from the ISO file, and initially booting the VM off the official BIG-IP ISO to perform an installation.
OVA image can now be deployed to a standalone host using the built-in web client.
