ovftool hedvig Tool Configuration Files

The most common way to call the ovftool_hedvig tool is with one or more configuration files.

Usually, one configuration file defines the vCenter environment (hostname, user, password, etc.), and another configuration file defines the VM, for example:

• vcenter.conf

  VCENTER="vcenter.company.com"

  VCENTER_USER="vcenter\@company.com"

  VCENTER_PASS="secret"

  DC="dc1"

  CLUSTER="cluster1"

• node.conf # VM specific info - ESXI_HOST, OVA_PATH, VM_NAME, VM_DATASTORE, etc.

  OVA_PATH="hedvignode_system_v3.ova"

  ESXI_HOST="esxihost1"

  VM_NAME="node01.domain.company.com"

  VM_DATASTORE="local01"

  VLAN="VLAN01"

  IP="10.11.12.13"

  NETMASK="255.255.255.0"

  GATEWAY="10.11.12.1"

Here is an example of the command line.

./ovftool_hedvig.sh --config vcenter.conf --config node01.conf
