Hi Robert, I was able to successfully import the regular ESXi5.5 iso. I think that the distro_signature for the Dell version would not be different.
I think the easiest way to be able to import ESXi5.5 is to upgrade cobbler with git: git clone git://github.com/cobbler/cobbler.git /tmp/cobbler make -C /tmp/cobbler install > /dev/null rm -rf /tmp/cobbler -Razi On Wed, Jan 29, 2014 at 4:07 PM, Robert Jacobson <[email protected] > wrote: > > Hi, > > I tried to import Dell's custom ESXi 5.5 image today but it failed.
