Our friends at Guard Dog solutions have created an OVA with the prerequisite tools installed. This makes it very easy to start the workshop. I'll cover the steps I took to install and use it.
- Download the OVA from hare: https://github.com/guarddog-dev/VMware_Photon_OVA/tree/main/output-vmware-iso
- Import the OVA into vSphere and assign a static IP address. Also, enable SSH and take the option to learn TCE on your own.
Remember the following items from the template parameters:
- The IP address - this will be important in the TCE configuration
- The SSH root password
Once the OVA is installed and started, SSH into the VM.
Once you've installed the OVA and started the VM, log in to the VM with either SSH or a VM console. Then clone the exercise repository so you will have local access to the configuration and exercise files:
ssh root@192.168.128.140
mkdir workspace
cd workspace
git clone https://github.com/jeffgbutler/TCEWorkshop.git
cd TCEWorkshop
