Hi All
I’m working on using VYOS in my DEV ops environment within VMWARE ESXI. I have automated the deployment of several other systems in the environment. The bit I am stuck on at the moment is that when the live ISO boots up, it has specific configuration (opt\vyatta\etc\config.boot.default) which is derived from the path in the brackets I believe. I’d like some way to change the default configuration without touching the VM whatsoever. Is there a way I can achieve this? Thanks
I have figured a way around it. I’m using PowerCLI for ESXI and I’ve found a script which sends keystrokes to the VM’s console. Not that neat but it will achieve the objective. Thanks anyway. 
I’d still have the same problem with somehow injecting some default config without touching the VM though? I dont want to have to make images, just to download the latest image from your website. I’m using something the below, so will throw it into a loop and make it a bit neater soon enough but its delivering exactly what I need but still feel that it would be good if you could easily deploy default config to the VM without having to hack away at it like I am.
Cheers
