Home Lab – scripted installation – Part II

following the blow to our already existing environment, I added the vcenter installation part. What we have already achieved so far can be found here at the very beginning, on our prereq VM, we download the tool for downloading images from VMware as well as vCenter itself, due to the fact that vCenter is a large file, it takes a while, and after finishing we will remove the iso so as not to clutter the machines for deployment, it uses the option of deploying vcenter using CLI, and to make it non-interactive, we prepare a template in accordance with our parameters save the prepared template on our prereq VM and start the installation I need to work on this element a bit because it gives me timeout, luckily it doesn’t stop the code and we’re moving on I based the monitoring of the process on the log that is created until successes occur, I also have to add here what if there is an ERROR other than the one that occurs normally in the installation process full code will be uploaded to git again when I finish it, and even though this part of the process is much shorter than the previous one, I’m already starting to work on the next elements Share with:
