This is a self-contained script to build an ova file of Photon OS with euc launchpad connector on it. Click start.bat to begin.
Input: input.txt and config.js
Output: a VM with Photon OS and launchpad connector source code (auto run on port 8003 after startup) on Vcenter, and its ova file downloaded

Requirement: It requires nodejs, VMware ovftool and authority to access euc_launchpad git repo (ssh://[email protected]/euc_cst/euclaunchpad.git). And easyvc module which is in node_modules folder. It contains a package.json file.

How To Use: You need to offer information in input.txt (input after '=', script recognize variable name before '=' and take whatever after as value) as well as in config.js. By click start.bat, the script will do following steps:

1.	Download Photon OS ova file from %ovaURL% to download folder using windows power shell (call downloadPhoton.ps1)
2.	Deploy Photon VM on offerred vcenter and power on

****after sucessfully deploy, you need to login manually for the first time to change initail pass word 'changeme' to password you just wrote in config.js****

3.	Pull connector codes from EUC git to download folder
4.	Transfer related codes into Unix form and zip connector
5.	Run a nodejs script using easyvc send codes into our VM and run. This script will print ip address of VM instance we generate.
	i. connector.zip
	ii. setupPhoton.sh -- used to set up code and environment on Photon 
	iii. setupAutorun.txt -- file for 'crontab' command, set autorun after reboot

****Use incomplete command like: "%ovftoolPath%" --noSSLVerify --overwrite --powerOffSource vi://asdf:[email protected]/ to find your VM path following hints appear. And replace path in the last step of .bat file****

6.	shutdown VM and export ova file to current folder

===========following bat use hard-coded parameters===========

startForJenkins.bat: For Jenkins job 'CombinationTest' under Deploy-Wen to call remotely. Will create a Photon connector VM on Vcenter but no following steps. Baiclly same as start.bat. But download an original Photon OS but with changed password root/VMware123 on AWS S3 and directly copy connector codes from local codes on Jenkins node (VM name: Jenkins Win10 @ 10.117.162.24). Reboot VM to make connector work at last. All parameters are hard-coded. VMName=PhotonWithConnector.
