Why yes, you sure could. :) Forgot I created that. It is used for
our ESXi xCAT kickstart installs. All it does is override all of the
things Linux.pm post_load does. It only waits for the ESXi computer
to respond to SSH. Our kickstart file configures everything including
the public and
Definitely doable.
Also might be worth doing it within a ESXi server. Nested hypervisor -
possibly a bit better control on which networks are visible.
With the connection methods in the next release, you could define
vsphere client as the connection method.

There is definitely a performance penalty for running ESXi as a guest OS.
I don't think the hardware virtualization features of the CPU can be
passed on to an ESXi guest, which also means no 64-bit guests inside the
ESXi guest.
Suggest reading the notes on this blog:
I'm not looking for nested hypervisors - this would work for someone who wants
to play/study ESXi server. But even in this case VCL needs a module to handle
ESXi reservation - this step would fail for nested esxi as well…
How would I add/use/load a new pm module for ESXi reservation? I plan
Andy
Could I extend existing ESXi.pm module at
/usr/local/vcl/lib/VCL/Module/OS/Linux/ESXi.pm?
Everyhing you described seems to be already in place - entry for esxi OS
(OSid), module name/path.
Thanks.
