I have a quick Q, I want to have it automatically use a specific hostname by default ie "defaultconfig" in my setup I'd allow it to use DHCP in this case but I'd be able to specific other hostnames if I'd like to. Is there an easy way to do this?

Has anyone tried to use EDA with ESXi 5.0 ? I tried and ran into some issues. Yes I know there's the Auto Deploy, etc... but thats only if you have enterprise plus, which is expensive. Also with the esxi 5 will the post scripts work since it doen't have a console? Any help would be appreciated, I am running v0.95 so it's not that. Kyle

Brugh/All, I'm still having problems were the default vmkernel gateway it looks like it adds the gateway from the console, but when I go into the gui it's not there. Also I'm having a problem where I have a "VM Network" port group which I have set to go to vSwitch1, but it keeps ending up in vSwitch0 instead. Below is my script.

Brugh, Or anyone else who may be on here that has a good idea of how to do this. In my environment I've got about 25 ESX BLADES ( most are running 3.5) I have setup EDA 8.1 (I'm upgrading to 8.5. And It just so happends that I'm going to probably be re-setting up my whole infrastructure with different IP's etc.. In any case I've got a list of hostnames, and IP's in an excel spreadsheet, (about 50 hosts, etc.. ) we're going to be adding a bunch. So the real question is how can I easily add all of these hosts, and IP information into EDA. I'd rather not retype the whole list. It's a lot, any ideas? I'd rather just copy and paste the whole list in, or into a csv file or something.
