I need to automate ESXi 5.1 installation from a powershell script.
For This to understand how PXE works we done with setup of DHCP on Virtual m/c having Windows 2008 R2 and TFTP server on Ubuntu 11.10 nd also PXE setup on Ubuntu virtual m/c.
Now using PXe setup i need to automate ESXi5.1 installation through script.
Not getting how to start..?
there's appliances that do all the work for you like EDA: https://solutionexchange.vmware.com/store/products/esx-deployment-appliance-eda
it has pxe boot, dhcp server, tftp server, html server, all built and ready to go
it even has a script builder that lets you create scripts without any programming skills
