[Question] System VM

Hi,

I was wondering, I changed code related to copying a template down to
primary storage from secondary storage. This code - related to ESXi - gets
run in the SSVM.

Is it sufficient if I rebuild the codebase using the systemvm profile,
destroy my SSVM, and allow a new one to be created? Does this kind of code
get applied to system VMs are a patch as part of systemvm.iso?

The way I've tested this kind of code to date is by putting a breakpoint in
VMwareGuru and redirecting the command to run in the management server
instead of in the SSVM.

Thanks!

I kind of doubt that the new systemvm.iso will be propagated to the sec.
storage. You can always follow the process in the wiki [1] to propagate
the new iso which will contain your code change.

Yes, that should be sufficient. 
Just make sure there is no stale systemvm.iso in systemvm folder of the secondary storage share in the zone.
