esxi-install¶
Install a selected ESXi bootenv to a system.
This workflow implements the automatic ESXi install based on the hardware
vendor of the machine (if vmware/esxi-version set to select-vendor),
and the map Param values from vmware/esxi-version-vendor-map. If
select-vendor is not set, then the latest "generic" BootEnv will be
used. Please examine the default Param values defined in the
vmware/esxi-version-vendor-map param for details.
You must initiate and run this workflow when the machine is in the Sledgehammer
(also referred to as "discovery") environment.
Warning
The first stage 'prep-install' will erase the disks in preparatioon for the installation.
Please see the full documentation regarding use of the VMware plugin at:
If you have any questions on customnization of the installation process.
