ah, the interface may not say it but 5 and 6 are boot-compatible. 6 works perfectly with the current version of Eda
FYI: EDA works perfectly for ESX6 deployments still. i'm still looking if there's different scriptable commands for ESX6, Some commands may not be prebuilt into the appliance but all commands... See more...
FYI: EDA works perfectly for ESX6 deployments still. i'm still looking if there's different scriptable commands for ESX6, Some commands may not be prebuilt into the appliance but all commands are supported as the basic installer runtime is the same in 5.5. happy deploying

I have a preliminary 1.10 in my lab that I'm making ready for 5.5 deployments. should be available soon after VMware releases 5.5 officially

That's a weird issue.. i only have limited testing facilities and am reproduce the error. what happens if you deploy it through ovf import, remove the nic, add a new one and then boot the appliance? does it work then?
absolutely, just add the hostnames to the list and type: esxhostname ks=dummy at the bootprompt. it will not find the ks file specified and drop back to manual installation.
that's very curious.. you sure they're setup EXACTLY the same? perhaps the kernelmemory is larger with EDA? i can think of no reason why a scripted installation would leave you with less memory... See more...
that's very curious.. you sure they're setup EXACTLY the same? perhaps the kernelmemory is larger with EDA? i can think of no reason why a scripted installation would leave you with less memory than a manual one since they both do exactly the same thing! perhaps you can compare the /etc/vmware/esx.conf files on both servers, see where they differ?

i've heard people use 'bootif' as boot device. it should use the NIC that booted first but I never got that working myself. you could just connect both (or all) NICs that it wants to use. i use a generic setup myself where all ports are connected to trunk ports so it doesn't really matter what NIC it uses. it works on all of them.

hey, i never got notice you put a message up here.. anyway, to install agents, the easiest way is to use the scriptbuilder to get the file from the appliance. it will default to putting it in /tmp. you can put a line like "/tmp/delagent-install.sh -b -w -r -s" at the bottom of the script to install it. the only thing you need to do after that is to put the file up. simply go to \ \ appliance \ dl$ and copy the files on there. the script bit of getting the file should match filenames (ofcourse) but defaults to the correct directories and that's basically it. glad you like the appliance it's why i do this (besides cutting down our installation time down to 2 days total regardless of the # of hosts and including setting up the appliance and virtualcenter/vcb and the lot)

the ks location is incorrect. it shows 'myipaddress' but should show your actual EDA ip address. can you make a backup of the appliance and post it here? remember to set your rootpassword to something else if you dont want people to know it. as for 0.8, i already updated the descriptive part on vmware.com and the 0.8 is ready but i only tested it with 3.5u2 on workstation. hopefully it'll be ready by the coming weekend or somewhere next week.
