PSC: Installing with CLI

Installing PSC with JSON File

Hello guys in this moment I'm going to share how to install PSC with JSON File:

First Step:

All you need is to mount the iso media file in Windows or Mac and to go to the JSON File Path:

In my case:

D:\vcsa-cli-installer\templates\install

I recommend you to copy the "install folder" in your desktop.

In my case:

C:\Users\vicente.meneses\Desktop\INSTALACIONVCSA\install 

After that, all you need is to edit this file: PSC_first_instance_on_ESXi.json or this file PSC_replication_on_ESXi.json If you have a  previous PSC.

In the next link you can find an example, feel free to use this document:

So, the Next step is to execute CMD with admin privileges, search cmd in windows menu and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Then, you need to execute the command:

D:\vcsa-cli-installer\win32>vcsa-deploy.exe install --verify-only --no-esx-ssl-verify  C:\Users\vicente.meneses\Desktop\INSTALACIONVCSA\install\PSC_replication_on_ESXi.json

Don't forget the VMware Documentation: https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/products/vsphere/vmware-vsphere-60-vcenter-server-appliance-cmdline-install-technical-note.pdf 

The confirmation message is like this:

Basic verification completed successfully.

After that you need to install:

D:\vcsa-cli-installer\win32>vcsa-deploy.exe install --accept-eula --no-esx-ssl-verify C:\Users\vicente.meneses\Desktop\INSTALACIONVCSA\install\PSC_replication_on_ESXi.json

If the deployment was successfully you will see the next screen in your browser:

After that, you need to use putty (in my case) to connect to the virtual appliance and to use the next command to join to  the Windows Domain:

/opt/likewise/bin/domainjoin-cli join ilumno.net user@company.com Passw0rd!

Then check the web interface:
