Install Rpm On Esxi 5
Just released a really cool new Fling called which is a tool that allows you to easily create custom VIBs for your ESXi 5.x hosts. If you have tried to create or add custom scripts to your ESXi host, you may have noticed they are not persisted after a system reboot and you had to play all sorts of games to get the files to persist. The VIB Author tool now solves that problem and you can even take your custom VIB and integrate them into an Auto Deploy Image Profile using. Before you jump right in, be sure to read over the important note in the documentation before getting started. So how does the VIB Author tool work? You will need to provide two pieces of input: payload which is set of files you wish to include in your VIB and the descriptor.xml which contains the metadata for your files. From that, VIB Author can produce either a VIB and/or an offline bundle (can be used with Image Builder).
VIB Author is distributed only as an RPM and you will need to install the VIB Author tool on a 32-bit Linux system (sorry, no 64-bit support). In my home setup, I went with CentOS 6.2 i386 as it was free to download & easy to setup or you may choose go with SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 which is the recommended platform per the documentation. To install the RPM, run the following command: rpm -ivh vmware-esx-vib-author-5.0.0-0.0.844296.i386.rpm In the example below, I will show you how to create a custom VIB that contains several different configurations:.
Colt. In between the 3.0 and 2.0 V6s is the 6G73 2.5 litre motor. Available in FWD atmo form only, this DOHC powerplant shares its basic design with the other engines in the 6G range, and is good for 131kW at 6000 revs. The Japanese market Diamante is also powered by a 10.0:1 compression ratio atmospherically inducted 6G74 3.5 litre, that produces 194kW at 6000 and 324Nm at 4500 rpm.
Custom Firewall Rule. Custom Startup script (adds a static route).
Custom Files (ghettoVCB) Disclaimer: The example below is not officially supported by VMware, please thoroughly test this in a development environment before using in production. Here is the directory structure for the example that we will be going through. Bootbank virtuallyghetto 5.0.0-0.0.1 virtuallyGhetto Custom VIB from virtuallyGhetto Adds custom firewall rule, ghettoVCB script and static routes to ESXi host false community true true false true false. Finally, we are now ready to copy the VIB over to our ESXi host and install our custom VIB.

To install VIB run the following command: esxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes/datastore-name/virtuallyghetto.vib -f To install the offline bundle run the following command: esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore-name/virtuallyghetto-offline-bundle.zip -f Note: You need to specify the -f flag to force the installation since we created files in an unsupported path. I have been able to test the VIB and offline bundle installation on both ESXi 5.0 as well as ESXi 5.1 To confirm we have succesfully installed our custom VIB, we can query it by running the following command: esxcli software vib list grep virtuallyghetto. Using this tool I have been trying to get an.sh to load during an AutoDeploy boot that will run the script to set a few RDM LUNs to perennial and speed up the boot time as mentioned in this kb I can see the file load during boot and after ESXi is up and running the file is located in the /etc/rc.local.d directory (so I know that is working), however, it does not appear that the script is running as the boot time is still 40-45 minutes. I have tried naming the script file with 999.

I know that the script itself works because I can run it from an SSH session after the server is loaded it runs (i can then restart agents and they restart in seconds instead of 30+ minutes). Any idea why it would not load during boot? Here is what the script looks like: #!/bin/sh esxcli storage core device setconfig -d –perennially-reserved=true esxcli storage core device setconfig -d –perennially-reserved=true esxcli storage core device setconfig -d –perennially-reserved=true esxcli storage core device setconfig -d –perennially-reserved=true esxcli storage core device setconfig -d –perennially-reserved=true. I have been unsuccessful at compiling a simple vib. I keep getting this message: /# vibauthor -C -t stage -v test.vib -O test.zip Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/bin/vibauthor”, line 9, in vibauthorImpl.main File “/build/mts/release/bora-847598/bora/build/esx/beta/vibauthor-stage/vibauthorImpl.py”, line 1436, in main File “/build/mts/release/bora-847598/bora/build/esx/beta/vibauthor-stage/vibauthorImpl.py”, line 303, in CreateVIBRT KeyError: ‘version’ I’ve tried changing settings. The only thing in here is a firewall rule. I’ve tried looking for older versions of the vibauthor but can only find the one currently available from VMware.
Click the Download link below the patch Release Name to download the patch to your system. Upload the patch to a datastore on your ESXi 5.x/6.x host using the Datastore Browser from vCenter Server or a direct connection to the ESXi 5.x/6.x host using the vSphere Web client.
