Hi,
For the VMs shutting down, you probably need to prevent the NTP from getting the current time, by adding clock=vm setting (QEMU):
-rtc base=2021-09-12,clock=vm
Otherwise, in the console, you will see the ntpd service starting, and a few moments after the system shutting down.
Also, you need to wait for the right login prompt before authenticating using admin/admin credentials :
vm login: --> still booting
PA-HDF login: --> still booting
PA-VM login: --> Now you can login
Check the serial, it should not be "unknown"
> show system info | match serial
If it is, you messed up with the license (do not add CPUs, for instance).
