installing vib files

Hi,

There is requirement to install DELL RecoverPoint splitter on all the esxi hosts in my environment to provide DR capabilities for the VM's running on these hosts.

This splitter comes as vib file.

Just for information when we install a vib file manually on host we upload the vib file to a local or shared datastore and then run the following command to install the vib file:

esxcli software vib install -v <vibpath> --no-sig-check

However I would like to automate this to install this vib file on all the hosts using vRO workflow

I do not have any idea how to achieve this through vRO workflow. Please help with the script.

Hi,

I have used "Run SSH command" workflow available in VRO to install vib on my esxi hosts and I have used "SCP put command" workflow to upload/copy the vib to my esxi host before installing it.

I hope it helps. Please let me know if you need more information.
