Hi all,
I just published a new version of the ESXi-Customizer script.
ESXi-Customizer is a Windows-only script for customizing the ESXi installation CD with community-developed drivers that are available in OEM.tgz format.
It supports ESXi 4.1 and 5.0. With ESXi 5.0 also VIB files and Offline-Bundles (in ZIP-format) can be used to customize the installation ISO.
New in version 2.6:
- added option to create (U)EFI-bootable ISO for ESXi 5.0
- added developer tool script TGZ2VIB5.cmd to convert an OEM.tgz-style ESXi 5.0 driver package into VIB format
Download it from the project page http://esxi-customizer.v-front.de!
I'd like to encourage the developers of community supported ESXi 5.0 drivers to convert their packages into VIB format (using Tgz2Vib5) before publishing them!
Read more about the advantages of VIB files in this blog post.
Have fun ...
