part or partition (optional)

Cannot be used on the same disk as the install command. Only one partition can be specified per disk
and it can only be a VMFS partition.
datastore name

--ondisk= or --ondrive=

--firstdisk=
disk-type1,
[disk-type2,...]
Partitions the first eligible disk found. By default, the eligible disks are set to
the following order:
1 Locally attached storage (local)
2 Network storage (remote)
3 USB disks (usb)
You can change the order of the disks by using a comma-separated list
appended to the argument. If you provide a filter list, the default settings are
overridden. You can combine filters to specify a particular disk, including
esx for the first disk with ESX installed on it, model and vendor information,
or the name of the vmkernel device driver. For example, to prefer a disk
with the model name ST3120814A and any disk that uses the mptsas
driver rather than a normal local disk, the argument is
--firstdisk=ST3120814A,mptsas,local. You can use localesx for
local storage that contains ESXi image or remoteesx for remote storage
that contains ESXi image.

Reboots the machine after the scripted installation is complete.
<--noeject>
The CD is not ejected after the installation.
