esxi/patch-list-override

Set the ESXi software install acceptance level.

Defines the VMware patches that will be applied to the system. This value will override all construction methods replacing the vmware/esxi-version-vendor-map.

Generally speaking, the vendor map should be used to select the patches to apply to the system. However, this override exists to allow an operator a method to specify precise patches to apply if your vendor map doesn't support a patch list.

In both cases, the esxi/patch-map must contain a map for the specified patches to be applied with appropriate values.

Pathces are applied in order. For each patch that specifies a reboot-required: true, the system will be rebooted before applying the next patch set. If not set to true, then patches will be applied until the next required reboot is specified.
