Deploy VCSA 6.0

You need the profile json file:

{
    "deployment":
    {
        "esx.hostname":"10.60.1.63",
        "esx.datastore":"ds-ucs-blade-3",
        "esx.username":"root",
        "esx.password":"temporal",
        "deployment.option":"tiny",
        "deployment.network":"nsx-infrastructure",
        "appliance.name":"nsxdev-vc.bcn.abiquo.com",
        "appliance.thin.disk.mode":true
    },

    "vcsa":
    {

        "system":
        {
            "root.password":"somepass",
            "ssh.enable":true,
            "ntp.servers":"0.pool.ntp.org"
        },

        "sso":
        {
            "password":"somepass",
            "domain-name":"vsphere.local",
            "site-name":"vsphere"
        },

        "networking":
        {
            "ip.family":"ipv4",
            "mode":"static",
            "ip":"192.168.100.10",
            "prefix":"24",
            "gateway":"192.168.100.1",
            "dns.servers":"10.60.1.4",
            "system.name":"nsxdev-vc.bcn.abiquo.com"
        }
    }
}

After that:

[root@mirror lin64]# ./vcsa-deploy ~/nsx-dev-vcsa-60.json
