Can [Tools] - [Archive] be used with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, or is it only available with Enterprise?

You can use it also in HPE Morphues VM Essentials.

Create an archive and use an existing bucket (e.g an NFS or CIFS share). Bucket can be the same as e.g. your Virtual Image Share.
You can make this Archive public (no authentication required).
Add some files to the Archive
Click on the uploaded file. You will see the private and public (if enabled) URL for the file.
- Click on scripts and find some sample code you can use in your own scripts to access/download the files to files to your VM's.
- You can use those sample scripts in "Library - Automation". E.g. I have a script that automatic installs mprime to run some perf tests. mprime binary is located in the Archive and the script will download the binary and extract (and/or run the binary or whatever you want)
- Here is a little example (lab-code, not cleaned up :D)

file_url="<%= archives.link('Apps Archive', 'p95v3019b20.linux64.tar.gz', 1200) %>" wget $file_url -O "./p95v3019b20.linux64.tar.gz" --no-check-certificate mkdir /tmp/mprime mv p95v3019b20.linux64.tar.gz /tmp/mprime cd /tmp/mprime tar -zxvf p95v3019b20.linux64.tar.gz

Once you have an automation, you can use this automation during deployment of a new VM. In this example, prime will be automatically installed in the VM after deployment.

You can also run the automation on already provisioned VM's via Actions - Run Task in the Instance.
Or you can run the automation on multiple VM's at once via the Execute button in the Automation/Task itself.

Since this is all about automation, you can also checkout morpheus-cli to further script the execution of an automation to multiple VM's.
