I’m not sure if this is the correct email list, but if its not please let me know the correct one.
I’ve installed Unity VSA via OVA into ESXi and was looking for a way to be able to do the Initial Configuration via command line or API (Bypassing the Web UI Wizard).
Is this possible?
There seems to be a bunch of steps including:
DNS Server
NTP Server
License
Pools
etc.
That I would like to do using the command line or API.
I finally figured it out. It turns out that I had to run a Hidden API call that accepts the EULA first. Once I did this I was able to change the Password for the Admin user and run through the rest of the components from the Initial Config Wizard.
And it doesn't seem like there is a single command that replaces the Wizard. I'm going to try and use the CLI tool to replace the different tasks from the wizard independently.
I'm back. I finally tried the REST API but it didn't work.
I think there is a chicken and egg situation going on here, but please tell me if I'm wrong.
As I mentioned, I am trying to automate the Complete Install/Configuration of Unity VSA to add to our Pipeline.
So as it turns out, there is a problem using the REST API initially. In fact, I don't think I could do anything with the system until I change the Admin Password through the GUI.
Because of this, I am not able to build my end-to-end automation and was hoping there was some way to get around this.
If not, is this something that can be built into the software in the future?
Thanks. But I just realized that this is NOT a new feature.
What it seems like I'm looking for is the API for the End User License Agreement Acceptance (EULA). I I can't seem to find this in the API Documentation.
So it seems like this is required prior to doing anything else.
