New Agent Deployment — clw-agent107

All Decisions Made

All questions resolved. VM provisioned, solomon-agent installed, OpenClaw gateway running.

What should the new agent VM be named?
Existing pattern is `Dedicated Agent - clw-agentXX`. Current: agent01 (10.8.4.221), agent02 (10.8.4.222), agent03 (10.8.4.223), agent04 (10.8.4.224). agent05 and agent06 were previously destroyed.
→ Use last octet of IP. Picked 10.8.4.107 → "Dedicated Agent - clw-agent107"
Decided
What VM specs?
Default is 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM / 30 GB disk. Existing agents vary.
→ 2 vCPU / 8 GB RAM / 30 GB disk
Decided
Which ESXi host and datastore?
Host options: esxi-101 (192.168.8.101, most agents), esxi-102, esxi-103. Datastores: 101-nvme1 or las-xbrickLAS1-lun01.
→ Host: 192.168.8.101 (esxi-101), Datastore: 101-nvme1
Decided
Which template should we use?
Default is `tpl-linux` in the deploy API, but the actual Ubuntu 24.04 template in vCenter is `tpl-lin-2404lts-032126`.
→ Ubuntu 24.04 (tpl-linux default)
Decided
Static IP or DHCP?
DHCP is simpler for bootstrap. Static is preferred for reliability since the hub needs a stable address.
→ Tried static (10.8.4.107) — clone succeeded but IP unreachable (no ARP response). Recreated with DHCP — got 10.8.4.157, reachable immediately.
Decided
Install OpenClaw on the new VM during bootstrap?
The solomon-agent bootstrap installs the daemon (Python). OpenClaw needs a separate step.
→ After VM comes online with Ubuntu, install OpenClaw (done ✅)
Decided
Any CLI tools / console access needed?
The deploy script can optionally install claude-code or codex.
→ Not needed for this agent
