Unattended installation of HPE VM Essentials Manager

[jorgejcv]

Hello everyone!
Once Ubuntu 22.04 is deployed, is there any way to perform an unattended installation of HPE VM Essentials Manager with a "answers.conf" file that includes all the information requested by the graphical wizard?

Thanks.

What GUI are you talking about?  I assume hpe-vm tool that lets you install the VME Manager?

You can install the VME Manager unattened.  It is documented in

hpe-vm --h

Here is an example command:

sudo hpe-vm --install -a IP -d -g GW -D DNS -H vmemgrcli -n MASK -P 1234 -q file:///home/morpheus/hpe-vme-8.0.4-1.qcow2 -u https://IP -U morpheus -i bond0 -s S

You can of course also install the console itself in an unattend way by using:

apt install -f {full path to console file}  (e.g. apt install -f ./tmp/hpe-vm.deb)

Thank you Arnout !

I installed the hpe-vm.deb package and was able to see all the possible options in the help (hpe-vm -help). Now I can perform an unattended installation of the console and VME Manager.
