Hi. No. Don't remove ESX. That's not was I was implying.
>From your original inquiries, I was under the impression that you meant to deploy Centos VMs by whatever means and use puppet to configure their operating system. Apparently, what you are attempting is the provisioning of the VMs themselves using puppet. Is that correct? I don't know much about ESX. But I doubt the puppet agent is functional on this platform. There is little benefit to installing puppet for the sole purpose of deploying VMs, anyway. That is, puppet doesn't give you much more power or convenience than a custom script. There's not much more advice I can dispense on this. Perhaps there is someone with more ESX knowledge on the list.
