["Dmitri Chebotarov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-579?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13269718#comment-13269718 ] 

Dmitri Chebotarov commented on VCL-579:
---------------------------------------

xCAT needs to be configured and working. Should be able to deploy a ESXi server using KS script. 
KS script needs to add external interface and shared ISO storage (optional), i.e.:

esxcfg-vswitch -A 'Public VM Network' vSwitch1
esxcfg-vswitch -v <vlanID> -p 'Public VM Network' vSwitch1

esxcfg-nas -a 'Shared ISO Library' -o <NFS_server_IP> -s </path/to/volume> -y

External interface will have vmk1 name. 

/etc/vcl/vcld.conf needs to have following keys:

ESXI_STORAGE_NAME_PREFIX=NFS_Storage # ESXi.pm will add _$user to this key
ESXI_STORAGE_ADDRESS=<IP or FQDN of NFS server>
ESXI_STORAGE_VOLUME=</path/to/exported/volume>
