Installserver: Publish a VMware ESX ISO - register-vmware

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:21:12 +0000

Here’s an old script, that also uses the magic provided by pxe-menu-generation (the script I posted before), but for VMware ESX/ESXi.

Installserver: Publish a SLES/OpenSUSE ISO - register-suse

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:20:34 +0000

Well, I’ve been tinkering with a way to “unify” the way we deploy new OpenSUSE/SLES ISOs onto our installation server, once they are released. So here, I’ll show you the script I came up with:

This also needs a second script, as this will only create a menu entry, not the menu itself. You’ll find the script in the next post!
