Hi,

I am working on some hacks to "push" server configurations to ESXi servers.

I have a good kickstart for ESXi 
I have extended koan to create detailed VM config files
        There are different versions of these, and different VM types
        There are so many config parameters it would be pointless to put them 
in the GUI
        This is a job for templates
I am working on a push script which SSH's into the ESXi server, downloads the 
VM config file, builds the disks, registers the VM and starts it
I think I can use triggers to build and remove VMs 

Problem is, I am not a programmer, so I am hacking the Python scripts myself, 
badly.

If anyone is interested, email me direct.

Thanks

John

I just merged in support for ESXi 5 last night (includes gPXE support too). I 
had written that months ago, but never merged it because I wanted some more 
testing on it.
