---------------------------------------------------------------
Some notes:
* sub grand_access() configures the ESXi server after user click Connect! button:
- it mounts user's NFS storage,
- add user, set reservation password (this requires a change in /etc/pam.d/system-auth to allow less complex passwords used be VCL) and add admin role.
- it also scans and register all VMs on user's storage, so user is presented with all the VM he/she already have, just need to power ON.
* sub sanitize() will return 1 if user never clicked the Connect! button. ESXi image won't be reloaded, it take some time to reload bare-metal on HS22 server...
* to get Public IP address, ESXi.pm module runs 'esxcfg-vmknic -l' on reserved ESXi server and looks for IP address assigned to vmk1 interface.

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>
