Locations Supported for Installation or Upgrade Scripts
In scripted installations and upgrades, the ESXi installer can access the installation or upgrade script, also
called the kickstart file, from several locations.
The following locations are supported for the installation or upgrade script:
n
CD/DVD. See “Create an Installer ISO Image with a Custom Installation or Upgrade Script,” on
page 128.
n
USB Flash drive. See “Create a USB Flash Drive to Store the ESXi Installation Script or Upgrade Script,”
on page 127.
n
A network location accessible through the following protocols: NFS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP
Path to the Installation or Upgrade Script
You can specify the path to an installation or upgrade script.
ks=http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/kickstart/KS.CFG
is the path to the ESXi installation script, where
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
is the IP address of the machine where the script resides. See “About Installation and
Upgrade Scripts,” on page 144.
To start an installation script from an interactive installation, you enter the
ks=
option manually. See “Enter
Boot Options to Start an Installation or Upgrade Script,” on page 142.
Installation and Upgrade Script Commands
To modify the default installation or upgrade script or to create your own script, use supported commands.
Use supported commands in the installation script, which you specify with a boot command when you boot
the installer.
To determine which disk to install or upgrade ESXi on, the installation script requires one of the following
commands:
install
,
upgrade
, or
installorupgrade
. The
install
command creates the default partitions,
including a VMFS datastore that occupies all available space after the other partitions are created. The
install
command replaces the
autopart
command that was used for scripted ESXi 4.1 installations.
