Can I use Ansible or CLI to finish the initialization of Unity VSA?

Hi,

Thanks for your question about Unity VSA install. What has completed so fa? The install guide only provides a method for using Unisphere. https://dell.to/3oQ9mjT

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you for your reply.

But I really wish that I can use CLI or Ansible to control the Dell EMC Unity for configuration and management. Now I can deploy Unity VSA via Ansible and I can SSH to the Dell EMC Unity after enabling SSH service by 'svc_ssh --enable`.
I also find out some svc_commands and I seem to be able to use these svc_commads to initialize my Unity VSA or uemcli.

Last week, I use `svc_shutdown --system-halt --force` to shut down the VSA  with SSH.

Problems to be solved:

- how to get System UUID via CLI/Ansible

- request a license via CLI/Ansible

- install a language package via CLI/Ansible

Studying and Learning ......

The best way to request new features is through sales. If you figure it out let us know so it can help others who want to do it too.

Thank you for your support.

I quit running Unisphere Initial Configuration Wizard to execute the first-time configuration. I'll try to use `uemcli` to finish this target.

Now I can use the following `uemcli` to finish some steps of the initial configuration.

Still learning......



$ uemcli -sslPolicy accept -noHeader -d ${unity} -u ${admin_user} -p ${admin_pass} /sys/eula set -agree yes

$ uemcli -sslPolicy accept -noHeader -d ${unity} -u ${admin_user} -p ${admin_pass} /user/account -id user_admin set -passwd ${admin_new_pass} -oldpasswd ${admin_pass}

$ uemcli -sslPolicy accept -noHeader -d ${unity} -u ${admin_user} -p ${admin_new_pass} /service/user set -passwd ${svc_new_pass} -oldpasswd ${svc_pass}

$ uemcli -sslPolicy accept -noHeader -d ${unity} -u ${svc_user} -p ${svc_new_pass} /service/ssh set -enabled yes
