I know it's complicated: it's also a variation on a supported method by VMware; and since I've a couple of hundred hosts to install, quite necessary.

My boot LUN setup is very close to yours. The big thing is how the ISO is presented to the Host. For instance, your method could be altered to use a Kickstart file by editing the ISO. There are no right or wrong answers here.

But I did learn something new: Smile

I didn't know you could present an ISO as a ramdisk.

The reason I went with the install the way I did is mostly for support: By using a Media Depot, and standardized kickstart, if I have a problem which requires VMware Support, I am likely covered.

One thing is certain: it's fast.
