In my previous post on vROPs Tenant Appliance for vCD, I covered steps of manual deployment & configuration. In this post I will cover how we can achieve this via CLI/API.
These API’s can be leveraged via any scripting language to automate the deployment of vROPs TA.
Step 1: Deploy vROPs Tenant Appliance via ovftool
As of now there is no API for automating deployment of appliance via API, so we will use ovftool for this purpose.
