NVE deployment with avi-cli
I would like to deploy NetWorker hosts from NVE OVA, each component as a separate VM:
1. VM1 - NW Server
2. VM2 - NW Storage Node
3. VM3 - NMC
From NVE installation Guide I already learned that avi-cli does not support SN deployment, but that's fine - I can do this with web installer
But what about NW Server and NMC to be deployed on separate VMs ?
BR, Stan

isn't that actually state right there in the nve deployment guide where it states "NOTE:NVE as Storage Node cannot be configured using avi-cli."? So in:
https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/networker/nw_p_virtual_edition_deployment_guide_19.9/configuring-nve-using-networker-installation-command-line-interface?guid=guid-9d5f7293-ecdd-4bcd-af1e-9fcaff048c45&lang=en-us
So by using the avi-cli "--listuserinputs" option and then using the generated userinput.yaml as input again for the avi-cli --install command.
As the NW NVE OVA does not offer a separate NMC install (yet?), there is no option to make a separate NVE-base NMC deployment. We tend to always have and use the local NMC but where needed also deploy a shared deployment on RHEL to manage multiple NW servers. Heck, we even deploy a full NW server install on it, so that we can use the authc db running on the NMC server itself instead of needing to point to one of the NW servers it manages, which creates a dependency to one specific backup server, which we don't like too much...
