esxi-build-isos/acceptance-level

Defines any additional command line options to pass to ansible for playbooks

Allows setting the ISO build AcceptanceLevel. Note that this is HIGHLY dependent on every single VIB Module which must be at the defined AcceptanceLevel specified, or higher to build successfully.

By default this value is set to VMwareCertified. This means that all VIBs must be signed by VMware.

For building ESXi ISOs with the RackN DRPY Agent VIB in it you will generally need to set CommunitySupported unless you have been provided with the DRPY Agent VIB that has been signed by VMware.

Customers MUST OBTAIN PERMISSION directly from VMware to be allowed to use the VMware signed VIB. This is not a decision that is within RackN's ability to make.

The values that this Param can be set to (in order of highest level to lowest), is:

  • VMwareCertified
  • VMwareAccepted
  • PartnerSupported
  • CommunitySupported
