Learn More About Creating Hypervisor Profiles

The hypervisor profile contains the elements needed to automatically install ESX/ESXi virtualization software, such as:
  • The scriptable Reference ISO software media location on an NFS share.
  • The location of a temporary Staging Folder (NFS share folder) with full read-write permissions; this is optional.
  • vCenter instance that manages the deployed hosts, plus a host profile
  • The destination cluster where the plug-in deploys servers in vCenter
NOTE: The following naming convention must be used for the Reference ISO file name:
  • IP:/path to file/filename.iso
  • fully-qualified domain name:/path to file/filename.iso
For example, 10.10.10.135:/tmp/nfsshare/esxi.iso
