Is there way to automate XCP installation on Ubuntu 12.04?

It's always asking me using "Bridge" or "OVS" network, during the installation process.
Is it possible to dismiss the message, and choose "Bridge" as the default?

Yes, you'll have to edit your preseed file to select bridge. Take a look
a this file:

https://github.com/mcclurmc/xen-api/blob/debian-sid/debian/xcp-networkd.templates

The key xcp-xapi/networking_type should be set to bridge in your preseed
file. I'm not sure exactly how to do that off the top of my head, and I
have to leave the office now.

Email me if this doesn't work, or if you can't figure out how to plug
this into your preseed file, and I'll see if I can help out later tonight.

Mike

DEBIAN_FRONTEND=/noninteractive apt-get intsall xcp-xapi

And if you need to choose something else than the default, you can
use preseeding.

Note that I closed an issue in Wheezy/SID about openvswitch being
always selected even if you choose bridging (it was missing a $1 =
configure test). So you might want to use the latest version available
in Debian.

Cheers,

Thomas
