Hi All,
I'm trying to perform a scripted installation of VMware vCSA 6.0 using the new vcsa-deploy but I'm hitting a strange error that I'm not quite sure how to resolve (the last entry in the log says permission denied which is weird).
The process I have been through is:
Overview:
- Extract the downloaded vCSA 6.0 ISO to my local machine
- Upload the extracted vCSA 6.0 directories to my Linux server: /home/vi-admin/vmware-vcsa
- Set the +x flag on the vcsa-deploy script and on the ovftool/ovftool.bin files
- Customise the /templates/full_conf.json file for my deployment and copy it into /vcsa-cli-installer/lin64 for ease
- Change my working directory to be /vcsa-cli-installer/lin64
- Execute ./vcsa-deploy full_conf.json
- At this point, I get the below error message
Error:
Start vCSA command line installer to deploy vCSA "Server01", an embedded node.
Please see /tmp/vcsa-cli-installer-P2jqzslog for logging information.
Run installer with "-v" or "--verbose" to log detailed information.
The SSO password meets the installation requirements.
Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
Note 1: I have tried running this from under both the vi-admin and root accounts with the same result.
Note 2: I appreciate you can run this from either an OSX or Windows box but I need to deploy this from a Linux server and SUSE11SP3 seems to be the only officially supported platform hence you probably guessed that I am running this on the vMA 6 server.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated :-)
Cheers
Andy
