Let’s look at the policies we have: razor policy
razor policy add -p vmware_hypervisor -l VMware_ESXi_5.1 -m d29A59f849662DlZ5g4tk -t cpus_2,memsize_3GiB -e -x 10ĭescription => Policy for deploying a VMware hypervisor. I also set a rule that no more than 10 ESX hosts should be deployed with this policy. Now create a policy with some rules as well, I am using a VM with 2 CPUs and 3GB of RAM to create my new ESXi hosts. Please enter Optional for broker use: the vCenter Cluster to place ESXi node in (example: Cluster01) Please enter Optional for broker use: the vCenter Datacenter path to place ESXi host in (example: Datacenter01) Please enter Optional for broker use: the vCenter to attach ESXi node to (example: vcenter01) Please enter NTP server for node (example: ) Please enter Nameserver for node (example: 192.168.10.10) Please enter Prefix for naming node (example: esxi-node) Please enter Gateway for node (example: 192.168.1.1) Please enter Ending IP address (2-255) (example: 50) Please enter Starting IP address (1-254) (example: 1) Please enter IP Network for hosts (example: 192.168.10) Please enter root password (> 8 characters) (example: test1234 Please enter ESX License Key (example: AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD-EEEEE) Let’s go ahead and create a new model with this image as well: razor model add template=vmware_esxi_5 label=install_esxi5.1 image_uuid=29XxYGoid8kr6KVmyFp00O Now look at that, Razor already knows that this is the GA version of ESXi 5.1, how cool is that? 🙂
Path => /opt/razor/image/esxi/29XxYGoid8kr6KVmyFp00O
Next, add the ISO as an image in Razor: razor image add esxi.
Next, upload the file to your Razor server, preferrably with FileZilla or some other tool. (Disclaimer: I am using Razor version 0.1.6.0 which was the latest version on the PuppetForge while writing this howto.)įirst, download the VMware ESXi 5.1 ISO from here. If you already have a Razor environment up and running you can dive right into the howto below, otherwise please use the howto I posted earlier to get started with Razor and Puppet. Once again, Razor comes to the rescue for all of you who’d like to automate the installations of VMware ESXi 5.1 that was just publically released.
