Make vic-machine support taking datastore path for appliance and bootstrap isos

Open hmahmood opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Currently we upload the bootstrap and appliance iso's every time we create a VCH for the integration tests (each time we run a .robot file). We really just need to reference the already built iso's every time we create a VCH.

vic-machine already has an option to specify appliance and bootstrap iso file paths, --appliance-iso and --bootstrap-iso, and we can make those options use datastore paths instead; vic-machine would simply not upload any iso's, and configure the VCH properly to use the iso's specified by the datastore path.

This could also be useful in a customer environment where the customer may want to deploy several VCH's but have them reuse the isos from one location.

Putting this in Icebox for now.

Should be considered in conjunction with shared image stores.
