ok everyone, I don't know where to post this one and the only thing I can find for automation is "SDK for Perl Discussions" but I'm not trying to use perl... I'm so very new to ESXi and have been trying to automate deployments because my new job requires me to install ESXi on machines, send them out to serve their purpose for a week, when they return, I wipe and reimage. I know you are able to setup a PXE to image them, but I would like to take it a little further. So is it possible to do the following... During the PXE boot, it runs a script that will look at VNIC0 to see what the MAC address is, based on the MAC address it will jump to a part of the script for specific deployment configurations (IE: IP address, username addition, etc...), but deploy to a specific NVME drive (I believe all of them have the same NVME drives but I need to install to a 128GB drive, not the other larger ones) I'm not asking anyone to do all the work for me, please point me in the right direction. I'm having a hard time following the documentation because am a visual / hands on learner and have a hard time focusing on reading, I don't need a DHCP server but that's all I seem to be finding online.
