I have been working towards some automation and this is what I have got done for now.
This is a powershell script which uses powercli modules and also the vShield REST API to configure the appliance after its deployed.
The script also uses the latest PowerCli 5.8 Release 1 – the Get-ovfconfiguration is key to deploying your appliances and ensuring they come up ip’d.
The script comes with a config.xml where you input all the parameters and then execute the script. You can also extend this by programmatically generating the config.xml file and executing the script.
The read me for the file is here. You can get my script at my github repo!
Alternatively you have it below as well, but I highly recommend reading the entire info at my github.
