Can someone explain to me how to deploy Centos images, do yum updates on them from a Mac OSX bash shell?
I have a VMWare ESXi server with the CENTOS 6.5 ISO in the datastore.
Thanks,
Dan

this is short procedure
You need to SSH the ESXi host from MAC terminal
You can create a VM using VM CLI commands

vSphere Command-Line Interface Documentation
Once you have done with installation,SSH the VM and do yum update.
I am using the free version. Do you have to go into maintenance mode to execute write commands to the server?

No, you only put the host into Maintenance when you need to perform maintenance on the host, like updates.
