esxi/set-norts

Set the ESXi software install acceptance level.

If set to true, then the template boot.cfg file will add the norts=1 option to the boot flags.

This is required for some hardware platforms, typically due to processor differences. For example, some Lenovo systems with Skylake processors. The flag disables the UEFI runtime support. Note that other hardware systems may also require this value. Some errors you may see in the middle of the ESXi Weasel Kickstart installer on the systems console:

  • Shutting down firmware services...
  • Using 'simple offset' UEFI RTS mapping policy

By default, the value will not be added to the boot.cfg tempalte.
