VMware Kickstart 安裝

Vmware 也是可以使用 kickstart (自動安裝) 來安裝,適合用於 PXE 環境, 關於 PXE 設定請參考.

• 架設 PXE 伺服器
• VMware PXE 設定檔

PXE 設定檔需要增加關於 kickstart 位址.

[root@benjr ~]# vi /var/lib/tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/default
LABEL esxi50
kernel vmware-esxi-5/mboot.c32
append -c vmware-esxi-5/boot.cfg pxebooting ks=http://172.16.0.2/esxi50ks.cfg

安裝好的 VMware 預設會有 kickstart (/etc/vmware/weasel/ks.cfg) 設定檔可供參考.
