Description
Description
It takes much time to update from 9.1.0.0 to 9.1.0.0100, 9.1.0.0200 9.1.0.0300, etc. So I'd like to deploy 9.1.0.0 with the most current installable patches right away when setting up a new instance with new-holodeckinstance.
Use case / Motivation
saving time
Proposed solution
This is my workaround, I have tested successfully:
Prerequisite:
Offline Depot with version 9.1.0.0 and most current installable patches (e.g. 9.1.0.0100, 9.1.0.0300)
login to holo-router 9.1
cp -i /holodeck-runtime/templates/bom.json /holodeck-runtime/templates/bom.json.org
change to most current installable patch version for ESX and SDDC-Manager (VCF Installer)
vi /holodeck-runtime/templates/bom.json
"9.1.0.0" : {
"esx" : ["VMware-VMvisor-Installer-9.1.0.0100.25433460.x86_64.iso"],
"vcf-installer" : ["VCF-SDDC-Manager-Appliance-9.1.0.0300.25536191.ova"]
cp -i /root/.local/share/powershell/Modules/HoloDeck/Modules/PreCheck.psm1 /root/.local/share/powershell/Modules/HoloDeck/Modules/PreCheck.psm1.org
vi /root/.local/share/powershell/Modules/HoloDeck/Modules/PreCheck.psm1
elseif($Version -eq "9.1.0.0"){
$requiredFilePatterns = @(
