I'll also explicitly say it's still supported and we use it, so feel free to 
higlight any troubles.

We are also working on refreshed x86 documentation, that should be maintained 
by a wider set of information development folks.

esxi6 deployment continues to work in the same way.  E.g. nodeset <noderange> 
install=esxi6-x86_64-hypervisor

(or netboot= for stateless, no genimage needed).

Essentially, esxi doesn't have enough customization generally to warrant the 
whole osimage thing, so it didn't get put into that.  Frankly I wish we had 
manifested the concept as a filesystem structure rather than metadata in a 
database.  Maybe one day…

Subject: [xcat-user] Deploy ESXi 6 with xCAT

Has anyone had any luck deploying ESXi 6.0 using xCAT?  All I am trying to do 
is deploy the hypervisor on a server.  My xCAT server is at 2.10.  These 
instructions are old and don't seem to support the new osimage method of 
deployment:

https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/XCAT_Virtualization_with_VMWare

Does anyone know of an updated doc?  Tips or tricks?  A lot of googling hasn't 
turned up anything.
