TSX-EMEA: Building an ESX install appliance

Presenter: Shridhar Deuskar

This was the last and the most important session I attended. Why? Well, for the last 4-6 weeks I have been working with Virtual Appliance builder, Carl Thijssen. I’ve been assisting Carl in redeveloping his “Ultimate Deployment Appliance” to also support deploying ESX from PXE Appliance. I feared someone had beat us the process. Fear not! It was just an “idea”. Asked at the end of the presentation where this virtual idea of an appliance could be downloaded, Shridhar said it didn’t exist. Well, it does!

Carl and I hope to release the next version of UDA version 1.4 soon. With a kickstart builder which creates an unattended script to install ESX. It will come in a Workstation and ESX virtual machine format. There will be a sample of CFG files for deploying ESX to IBM, DELL and HP equipment.

Watch this space ;-)
