# Description: PowerCLI script to deploy a fully functional vSphere 6.5 lab consisting of 3
#               Nested ESXi hosts enable w/vSAN + VCSA 6.5. Expects a single physical ESXi host
#               as the endpoint and all four VMs will be deployed to physical ESXi host
# Reference: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2016/11/vghetto-automated-vsphere-lab-deployment-for-vsphere-6-0u2-vsphere-6-5.html
