Deploy OpenManage Enterprise programmatically
OpenManage Enterprise can be deployed programmatically (using a script) on VMWare ESXi version 6.5 or later.
NOTE: Programmatic/scripted deployment is only supported using the primary interface.
NOTE: If a secondary adapter is added before powering on the appliance for the first time, the adapter will be configured
with IPv4 and IPv6 disabled. Upon login to the TUI, and after accepting the EULA and changing the admin password, the
adapter will show up as DISABLED and must be configured by the user.
NOTE: You must use the latest versions of OVF Tool and Python 3.0 or later for the programmatic deployment.
