Hi
I am very New to Ansible. hence please forgive if it is stupid on my part.
Now I would like to outline the requirement I am working on for last few days:
- Deploy ESXi on a HP server and vCenter on top of it
- Spin up some VMs and once these VMs boots up after deployment They should be able to pick the PXE boot in a form of Kickstart. The targeted OS is RHEL
Now I am facing major difficulties here.
First of all Ansible doesnt support vCenter deployment. I have installed ESXi with PXE boot from a control server that I created. and deployed vcenter manually with the help of some scripts I found online.
Doesnt anyone know if Ansible supports vCenter Deployment or the pre-requisite is that vCenter should be pre-deployed?
Now come the easiest part. I created a playbook and passed on a host file and spun up some VMs.
Now these VMs are empty, has nothing.
These VMs should be able to pick the PXE boot in a form of Kickstart.
Not sure how to achieve this. Could anybody help?
