Any updates to the issue of only being able to do a config restore once? To re-cap... if I make 2 config backups, each with a different post script... and I try to do a restore, I can only restore once. Additional attempts to restore the alternate config changes nothing. Thanks!

Backup/Restore question... I have 2 different ESX hardware platforms, HP and SUN. My plan was to have 2 different backup configs, which I would then do a restore for the config I wanted. The restore worked once.. and there after, even though I choose the other config, nothing changes. Am I missing something?

Thanks.. I tried adding the # signs.. but with limited success. At this point, while I can generate 1 host profile at a time with 001, 002... It doesn't work as I would expect to do a range. If I enter esxhost##6, for example, I will get esxhost006, esxhost016, esxhost026, etc... For now I will have to continue adding one at a time.

I was able to get my switch config worked out several days ago.. the appliance is working great! However, I have a new site.. so new instance of the appliance and I set it up the same... but now after getting the PQR screen and selecting the server profile, I get the error: Could not find kernel image: vmlinuz Any ideas? I have re-downloaded my ESX iso image thinking it was bad... and double check the other parameters...

No.. I'm not getting anywhere.

Brugh, Do you have any other recommendations for getting my server to connect to your appliance when VLAN tagging is present on the port of the server? I've enabled port-fast and configured the native VLAN to be the same as the network for my EDA. I still cant get my server to see the EDA. Unfortunaly I don't have the option of reconfiguring the switch ports everytime I have to do an ESX build. BTW.. it works great when vlan tagging isnt there... I can build my server in about 10min!!

I did add the shutdown command to the end of the script... however, what I noticed is this part (below) of the scirpt doesn't run.. nor do the pegasus scripts finish. The ESX server dos reboot.. and when it comes back... it tries to re run the POST script. esxcfg-firewall --blockOutgoing +EOF1 # Make esxcfg.sh eXcutable chmod +x /tmp/esxcfg.sh # Backup original rc.local file cp /etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.local.bak # Make esxcfg.sh run from rc.local and make rc.local reset itself cat >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local <<EOF2 cd /tmp /tmp/esxcfg.sh mv -f /etc/rc.d/rc.local.bak /etc/rc.d/rc.local EOF2+
Is there a way to incorporate a reboot after the POST install scripts have finished?
Adding the server-next config fixed my problem. Man.. this tool is wicked fast... i can install/config an ESX host in 10min!

Yes.. positive I am the appliance and the ESX host are on the same subnet. The host is getting an IP successfully... daemon.log files show: Nov 13 22:20:49 deployer dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.23.221.110 from 00:15:c5:89:68:82 (BMC dhcp) via eth0 Nov 13 22:20:49 deployer dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.23.221.110 to 00:15:c5:89:68:82 (BMC dhcp) via eth0 I did not change next-server in the dhcp scope... its still the 192.168 address. This is the only dhcp server in that VLAN.. so I didnt think it necessary. And, again, my host is getting correct IP addresses.

I've just set up the EDA appliance.. have everything set... but when I try to boot my server, i get a TFTP Open timeout after my server aquires an IP address. Both the appliance and the server are on a private VLAN. Does this error have anything to do with the pxe vlan tag issues mentioned ealier?
