Generating AMI with an unconfigured NSX agent

You can generate an AMI of a VM with the NSX agent installed on it and not configured.

To generate an image from a VM that has the NSX agent installed on it using the -noStart option, do the following:

Procedure

1. Copy paste the NSX agent Installation Command from CSM. See instructions at Install NSX Tools
   1. Edit the command for Windows as follows:

      c:\> powershell -file ‘nsx_install.ps1” -operation install -dnsSuffix <> –noStart true

   2. Edit the command for Linux as follows:

      $ chmod +x install_nsx_vm_agent.sh && sudo ./install_nsx_vm_agent.sh –-no-start
      

2. Go to this VM in your public cloud and create an image.
