Hi
Is there a way to use kickstart script install with VCL/xCAT?
xCAT2.pm code mentions use of templates, but I cannot find a way how to make
use of them.
I have working ESXi 4.1 template, and able to install ESXi 4.1 using xCAT
(nodeset node install works OK).
How would I add ESXi 4.1
Dmitri,
Yes, VCL supports kickstart installs with xCAT. The column in the image table
that corresponds to the install type is OSid.
Example:
mysql select prettyname, OSid from image where id=235;
+---+--+
| prettyname| OSid |
Mike,
Thank you for explanation.
How did you add kickstart image to vcl.image table?
I've tried adding image by inserting record directly into vcl.image and
vcl.imagemeta tables, but this didn't work.
vcld --setup only allows partimage type for bare-metal.
Thank you.

situation.
INSERT INTO `image` (id, `name`, `prettyname`,
