ESXi kickstart
Материал из noname.com.ua
ESXi kickstart file
- ESX можно установить с файлом ответов.
- Существует файл ответа по умолчанию, который установит ESX без лишних вопросов, с паролем root = mypassword.
- Так же, можно подложить свой файл ответов, как и раньше по сети, или на USB флешке.
Создание своего образа
- Скачать ESXi ISO
- Подмонтировать образ:
mount -o loop VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.x.x-XXXXXX.x86_64.iso /esxi_cdrom_mount
- Cкопировать содержимое
cp -r /esxi_cdrom_mount /esxi_cdrom
cp ks_custom.cfg /esxi_cdrom
- исправить boot.cfg file в соответвии с требованиеми (см. ниже)
- Пересоздать образ.
mkisofs -relaxed-filenames -J -R -o custom_esxi.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /esxi_cdrom
