esxi-build-isos/vibs-urls

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

An array of strings of ESXi VIBS to download and install in the built ESXi ISO.

For deployment by Digital Rebar Platform (DRP), this list MUST also include the RackN "DRPY VIB Module". The DRPY VIB module can be found in the DRP HTTP file server space once the vmware Plugin has been installed.

The list may also optionally contain other VIB Modules that need to be added to the built ESXi ISO output artifact. NOTE that the status of the "Signed" or "Unsigned" state of the VIBs must all match for the builds to work correctly. The build tool can be modified to support Signed or Unsigned VIBs with the use of the esxi-build-iso/signed-vibs boolean Param.

If VIB modules do not meet the defined AcceptanceLevel, the operator may specify ignoring the Signature Check process by setting the Param esxi-build-isos/signature-check to false (the default is true).

DRP based golang template constructs can be used in the URL paths to dynamically render to a location on the DRP Endpoint HTTP file service locations.

Note that the "files/plugin_providers/vmware..." path component is populated on the DRP Endpoint after the vmware Plugin has been installed via the Catalog.
