Creating a Kickstart Configuration File

To create a kickstart configuration file, perform the following steps:

1. Create the image directory on the HTTP server base location:

# cd /home/delladmin/ISOBootImages/esxi5.1_dell_ISOBoot_New

The name of the directory needs to be same as the image directory created on the

TFTP server.

2. Create a file named “ks.cfg” inside the image directory.

The content of the file will as shown below:

# Sample scripted installation file

# Accept the VMware End User License Agreement

vmaccepteula

# Set the root password for the DCUI and ESXi Shell

rootpw <PASSWORD>

clearpart --firstdisk=<FIRSTDISK> --overwritevmfs

# Install on the first local disk available on machine

install --firstdisk=<FIRSTDISK> --overwritevmfs

# Set the network to DHCP on the first network adapater, use the

specified hostname and do not create a portgroup for the VMs

# reboots the host after the scripted installation is completed

reboot

%firstboot --interpreter=busybox

• The value of <PASSWORD> will be replaced with the password string defined

in the Resource Adapter configuration file. The default value is iforgot.

• The value of <FIRSTDISK> will be replaced by local/usb, depending on the

boot sequence defined in the deployment template.

• The value of <NETWORKCONTENT> will be replaced for the DHCP or static IP

address configuration. The default configuration is dhcp. In case the value

of the IP address, subnet mask, and name-server is provided in the

inventory, then the static IP address configuration will be applied on the

server.

• The value of <FIRSTBOOT> will be replaced by the network configuration

template file, available inside the Resource Adapter package. The

configuration is based on the specifications for the Active System 1000

VMware Deployment document.

• The <FIRSTBOOT> configuration also includes:

o iSCSI initiator configuration
