3. Copy the ks.cfg file to the HTTP Server base location.
mkdir –p /var/www/html/esxi5.1_dell_ISOBoot_New/
cp /home/delladmin/ISOBootImages/esxi5.1_dell_ISOBoot_New/ks.cfg
/var/www/html/esxi5.1_dell_ISOBoot_New/ks.cfg
In case the existing image directory is replaced, then skip above commands and
execute the following
mkdir –p /var/www/html/esxi5.1_dell_ISOBoot
cp /home/delladmin/ISOBootImages/esxi5.1_dell_ISOBoot/ks.cfg
/var/www/html/esxi5.1_dell_ISOBoot/ks.cfg
4. Update the file permission on the newly added image
chown –R delladmin:delladmin /home/delladmin/ISOBootImages
chmod –R +w /home/delladmin/ISOBootImages/
Adding the new image to the software repositories
In case the new image is added by replacing the earlier image directory, then no change is
required.
In case the new image is added with a new name/directory then “ISO Bootable Image”
repository needs to be updated as described in section Updating Repository Elements for ISO
Bootable Images
