Where is the Scripted Installer on vSphere?

[bazza52]

Does anyone know where the Scripted Installer is on ESX4, is the feature still available? The link is no longer on the hosts web page as "Log in to scripted installer", and also the struts-config.xml file is no longer present.

Has this been replaced by a new feature? Couldn't find anything in the documentation. Thanks!

As far as I understood this feature has been removed unfortunately.

No worries - /root/ks.cfg will do nicely as a starting point.

Duncan is right, it has been removed. During the BETA, it was mentioned that it would make it to the final build but apparently they decided to scrap it all together but some of the code for the kickstart generator still exists, take a look at this thread for more information: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1260606
