Hello..
Is it possible to give vCenter appliance ip, gateway, netmask etc via ovftool? Same way as to Orchestrator.
--prop:vami.DNS.VMware_vCenter_Server_Appliance=10.0.0.69 --prop:vami.gateway.VMware_vCenter_Server_Appliance=10.0.0.1 --prop:vami.ip0.VMware_vCenter_Server_Appliance=10.0.0.96 --prop:vami.netmask0.VMware_vCenter_Server_Appliance=255.255.255.0
When running these commands with ovftool, it doesnt give any errors or anything, but it doesnt pass the variables forward either. Clearly vCenter appliance doesnt have any "intelligence" for such feature.
ovftool --acceptAllEulas --skipManifestCheck --datastore=storage-1 --diskMode=thin --name=vcenter --prop:vami.DNS.VMware_vCenter_Server_Appliance=10.0.0.69 --prop:vami.gateway.VMware_vCenter_Server_Appliance=10.0.0.1 --prop:vami.ip0.VMware_vCenter_Server_Appliance=10.0.0.96 --prop:vami.netmask0.VMware_vCenter_Server_Appliance=255.255.255.0
/VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.0.0.3324-472350/VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.0.0.3324-472350_OVF10.ovf.backup vi://10.0.0.10
So any tips? Do I need to create some external media and modify the appliance to add it in, which will pass the needed variables to appliance, and script which will run from init.d on start and read those?
