Hi

I'm not sure I can set/check firewall in %post steps. 
hostd is not running on this step and  'esxcli network' commands fail (unable 
to connect).

I've found workaround (using wget and monitoring httpd access log on master to 
see when node finished installing) and I'll suffice for now. 
If it's know that ESXi 5.1 works OK then I'll keep looking for a reason why 
openssl cannot connect.

This is KS script for ESXi 5.1, which fails on %post steps.

# kickstart script for esxi51 

vmaccepteula
rootpw --iscrypted #CRYPT:passwd:key=vmware,username=root:password#
clearpart --alldrives --overwritevmfs 
install --firstdisk --overwritevmfs
network --bootproto=static --addvmportgroup=false --device=#COMMAND:echo 
#TABLE:noderes:$NODE:primarynic#|sed s/eth/vmnic/g# --ip=#TABLE:hosts:$NODE:ip# 
--netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=<X> --nameserver=<X> 
--hostname=#TABLE:noderes:$NODE:node#
reboot

%post --interpreter=busybox --ignorefailure=false
echo "<xcatrequest>\n<command>nextdestiny</command>\n</xcatrequest>" | 
/bin/openssl s_client -connect #TABLE:noderes:$NODE:xcatmaster#:3001

%firstboot --interpreter=busybox

<... 1st boot steps...>

Thanks
