I am trying to automate ESXi:6.5U1 installation using IPv6 Pxe. In "boot.cfg" I gave the kickstart path using IPv6 address. During OS installation my setup is unable to fetch kickstart using this.,but if I pass IPv4 address it is proceeding.
Can anyone please help in resolving this??
If you can.. share a copy of bot.cfg with both Ipv4 and IPv6.. just wanna look at the format.
For ipv4:
bootstate=0
title=Loading ESXi installer
timeout=5
kernel=tboot.b00
kernelopt=runweasel ks="http://<ipv4>/kickstart/esx/6/esx-6.5u1-ga.cfg"
for ipv6
bootstate=0
title=Loading ESXi installer
timeout=5
kernel=tboot.b00
kernelopt=runweasel ks="http://[<ipv6>]/kickstart/esx/6/esx-6.5u1-ga.cfg"
for ipv6 i am putting ipv6 address in Squrae brackets
from what I understand the web server hold the ks.cfg and the ESXi modules(custom installation)
If you can take a look at the below link... page 11 pre-requisites

I am not sure what this means;
For legacy BIOS, you can use only IPv4 networking. For UEFI PXE boot, you can use IPv4 or IPv6 networking
My setup is in UEFI mode only
pantyagi Did you figure it out?
