Deploying vcsa6.json template

[jvm2016]

Hi Luc,

can an you please send the correct syntax to run .json template to deploy vcsa6 with embedded psc.

i have created one .json file from  existing template “embedded_vcsa_on_esxi”.

However the the command mentioned in VMware documentation is not correct.

[LucD]

Which command, and what errors are you getting?

[jvm2016]

./vcsa-deploy  .iam using power shell to run .json template which is saved on my desktop.

could you send the correct syntax as error iam getting is not providing right parameter for install which iam providing.

[LucD · Accepted solution]

It's a bit difficult to tell you what is wrong, when you don't show me what you are doing and the error(s) you are getting.

What VCSA version are we talking about? Vcsa 6, 6.5 or 6.7?

How are you running the vcsa-deploy command?

Did you do a pre-check with

vcsa-deploy install --verify-only vcsa6.json

[jvm2016]

Tx luc i am checking.

[jvm2016]

iam able to deploy vcsa6.0 with the above command by adding few more switches like  no-esx-ssl-verify and —accept-Eula.

its not power cli question but thanks for your help.

however I am going to configure this using power cli  Like creating data enter and other inventory objects.

also If you could suggest if dns records are not made how it impact the functionality as currently I deployed using IP address.

[LucD]

Afaik DNS resolution, forward and reverse, is an essential prerequisite for setting up a working VCSA.

[jvm2016]

Yes as I also read in documentation .
