ESXI Support #2337
Comments
This looks very much like a file we are trying to read is not properly handled. I would group this into the section of handling errors more transparently, as well as logging them better. Also is ESXI available for everyone, so I could try to run Cobbler on it for testing purposes? |
Sorry for the late response was focusing on booting issue. I have notice a few things that need to be changed or document in regards to esxi and booting from gpxe/ipxe. Should i post them here? I don't know if esxi is available for everyone, i think it may. |
@DwayneGit Yeah no problem. I am also deep down the road currently. Just post your ideas and suggestions here and I will see what I can document where. Also I looked it up and I can get it esxi for free with some limitations from vmware. Possibly I think I need to set it up to test if you didn't skip anything which you thought was self explanatory (I do that at least sometimes...). |
@SchoolGuy these are some of my notes while working out issues with esxi and using remote image store "available-as". ESXI Issues

@DwayneGit This is indeed very helpful. I think at some point we need to rework the code to remove the need of hacking the code to enable esxi users to use this. It will take me a while until I will be able to work through all of this. I will leave that open until I fixed this properly and documented everything. |
see also #2277 issue for efi boot. |

Just noting some changes I made and asking some questions.
these are for 6.7 looks like more needs to be added for other versions
followed by "'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 6623: ordinal not in range(128)"
this is coming from import_signatures.py while trying to open "vmware-esx-base-osl.txt"
I don't get this error while running python in the terminal so i don't know why cobbler is giving this error. for now i told open to ignore errors.
does anyone else have this problem?
