Can PowerCLI interact with the installation of any GNU/Linux?

[paco699]

Hi foks!

I have the script to create new VM (get-new) until launching the VM and the installation DVD (ISO).

But i have no idea if PowerCLI, during the SLES12 installation process, can configure "Boot Option" (to configure the AutoYast path) and choose "Installation" action to then to interact with AutoYast.

Or, do you have any other idea to do that?

Thank you very much.

With the OSCustomizationSpec your options to configure a Linux guest OS are limited.

The best alternative is to use Invoke-VMScript, which requires the VMware Tools to be installed in the guest OS, to perform customisation of the Linux guest OS.

To avoid the limitations of Invoke-VMScript you might want to have a look at my Invoke-VMScripPlus function..
