So in my lab, I was able to add custom drivers and remove drivers from the original VMware ESXi 6.5 ISO. The resulted image was then exported as ISO or it can be used for AutoDeploy scenarios. You might also need to create a custom ESXi 6.5 ISO when you need to integrate other than the stocked VMware drivers, say you have a NIC card which has it’s own drivers.
The has been now fully upgraded to vSphere 6.5 and I’m running vCenter based on Linux (vCenter server Appliance) VCSA 6.5. I had to build a custom ISO which had new drivers for the LSI 3008 storage controller (for vSAN HCL) and the X710-DA2 10GbE NICs. Then only I could upgrade my hosts. ********************************************************************* Shop for vSphere licenses at VMware Store: • (lifetime license) • (lifetime license) • (lifetime license) ********************************************************************* You might be interested, I’ve documented different ways of upgrades: • • • • And also the upgrade of the vCenter: • • Also: • So today I’ll show you the steps which are necessary to configure and use the new ImageBuilder GUI and create a custom ISO via this tool. Now, this is not the only way to do it. You might know other methods, tools.
Create a macOS/OS X VM on VMware ESXi 6.5 & VMware Workstation 12.5.2 Pro. Running a MacOS/ OS X virtual machine is not anything new and has been supported for quite some time, as long as you are running said VM on a supported hypervisor with Apple Hardware. Dear all, Last day we had updated one of the hosts with the latest ESXI 6.5.0 Update 2 (Build 8294253) after the update everything is slowed down and i cannot seem to find anything related to this issue.
