Thanks, Aaron. This is exactly the feedback needed. A GUI-based
configuration tool can grow or fork to handle almost anything we wish,
including the networking, storage, and other options that are the
subject of the present surveys. Larry

Very cool.
Let me know when your ready and I can help with testing the gui.
I can think of various things I'd like to test for, like networks
available on the management node. Target standalone hypervisors(after
post install) , for xcat installs testing for blade center amm's or
DRAC cards, etc.

This is certainly helpful for the install part. I've nearing completion on
an interactive Python GUI to help folks customize their installation and to
configure the various services. The general premise is to have two RPMs: one
to generate a configuration file, and the second to install and configure
VCL using the config file from the first. This seems to be expandable, for
example, to include XCAT, different server configurations (eg, HA), and
perhaps mainframe. Suggestions welcome.

Hi Curtis,
Thanks, I'm definitely interested in automating the vcl install.
Between this and the work that Larry has done/posted in previous
thread. We should be able to incorporate the work for the next
release.
Thanks again.

Hi,
I've created a basic Ansible (a configuration/orchestration system)
playbook to automatically install VCL 2.3 on a CentOS 6 host and you
can view it here:
https://github.com/cybera/ansible_playbooks/tree/master/vcl
Not sure how useful it is to anyone...but it's there. :) Might break
depending on the CentOS 6 template/image you have, but it should be
easy to fix or adapt to different needs and requirements.
Thanks,
Curtis.
