Add initial network configuration to the ovf spec.
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

I'd like to deploy a vyos ova and have it pre-configured with an ip address, and gateway, so the deployment and configuration can be fully automated.

The needed properties can be defined in the ovf spec like this:

<ProductSection>
  <Property ovf:key="ip-address" ovf:type="string" ovf:userConfigurable="true" ovf:value="" ovf:qualifiers="MinLen(4),MaxLen(15)">
    <Label>IP address</Label>
    <Description>Specifies the IP address. If set, netmask and gateway are required too. Alternatively, enter 'dhcp' to use dhcp and ignore netmask and gateway.</Description>
  </Property>
  <Property ovf:key="netmask" ovf:type="string" ovf:userConfigurable="true" ovf:value="">
    <Label>Netmask</Label>
  </Property>
  <Property ovf:key="gateway" ovf:type="string" ovf:userConfigurable="true" ovf:value="">
    <Label>Gateway</Label>
  </Property>
...

At first boot the values can be found using vmtoolsd --cmd 'info-get guestinfo.ovfEnv' to generate initial ip configuration.

I'd be happy to create a merge request for this, but I cannot test anything because the ansible role uses a command unkown to me, vmdk-convert. Where does that come from?

This will be a nice feature, exactly what I needed. Is it hard to implement? I could help testing the ovf deployment to vSphere.
