vmware/esxi-version¶

Set the ESXi software install acceptance level.

This Param can be used to specify which supported version of VMware vSphere to install on a given Machine. Note that the version must be a supported BootEnv (the version matches the BootEnv, minus the -install trailer) type on the DRP Endpoint. See the documentation for "select-vendor" special BootEnv behavior selection below.

Supported versions are:

If nothing is specified, the default value will be selected in the default field of the Param.

If the operator specifies select-vendor then the latest Vendor specific BootEnv / ISO combo will be used according to the Param map vmware/esxi-version-vendor-map. The vendor version requires gohai-inventory to match DMI->System->Manufacturer appropriately.
