Hi all,
I am having some difficultly configuring vmotion in my ks.cfg file and was hoping somebody could offer some advice. The rest of my script works fine now and the build completes ok but when i login afterwoods and check if vmotion is configured nothing shows.
What i am trying to do is when the script first runs and the ks.cfg is kicked off...i am prompting the user for the fqdn of the esx host, service console ip and also vmotion ip. Then the builds continues....i would like the vmotion ip address entered by the user when the build first starts to be assigned once the build completes.
Here is a little snippet of my ks.cfg file
%pre --interpreter=bash
while ;do
header
echo -n "Please Enter vMotion IP Address: "
read vmotionipnew
done
cat <<EOF> /tmp/vmotionnetworkconfig
$vmotionipnew
EOF
%post --interpreter=bash
/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -a vSwitch_vmotionVLAN
/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -A VMotionVLAN vSwitch_vmotionVLAN
/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic6 vSwitch_vmotionVLAN
/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vmknic --add --ip=$vmotionipnew --netmask=255.255.255.0 VMotionVLAN
service mgmt-vmware restart
sleep 60
Enable VMotion on the VMKernel Interface
