Virtual appliance deploy/config automation
Hi there,
Is there any way to automate configuration of the appliance? In order to build ESXi/vCenter host I just need to run a script with parameters, and Open manage appliance configuration takes half an hour to complete configuration while being a way less complicated product.
If not at the moment is there are any plans to support Powershell (of course preferable ) or any other cli in future?
Best Regards,
Alex.

I’d like to also request that it be more easily to automate a deployment.
At the moment the image ships with dhcp off by default :(
Cloud-init support would be awesome as then we could automatically set the admin password and have smaller images (where we need to use raw rather than qcow2) that automatically grow the base disk to the allocated size.
Once it’s *on the network* then there is an API that can be used to configure the rest of the settings. (I guess you could wrap the api calls with powershell cmdlets if you must :) )
