Boot Option Description
ks=usb
Performs a scripted installation, accessing the script from an
attached USB drive. Searches for a file named ks.cfg. The

multiple USB flash drives are attached, they are searched
until the ks.cfg file is found. Only FAT16 and FAT32 file
systems are supported.
ks=usb:/path
Performs a scripted installation with the script file at the
specified path, which resides on USB.

installation script and installation media. Specify as a MAC
address, for example, 00:50:56:C0:00:01. This location can
also be a vmnicNN name. If not specified and files need to
be retrieved over the network, the installer defaults to the
first discovered network adapter that is plugged in.
nameserver=ip address
Specifies a domain name server to be used for downloading
the installation script and installation media.

be retrieved over the network, the installer defaults to the

About Installation and Upgrade Scripts
The installation/upgrade script is a text file, for example ks.cfg, that contains supported commands.
The command section of the script contains the ESXi installation options. This section is required and must
appear first in the script.
Locations Supported for Installation or Upgrade Scripts
In scripted installations and upgrades, the ESXi installer can access the installation or upgrade script, also
called the kickstart file, from several locations.
The following locations are supported for the installation or upgrade script:
n
CD/DVD. See “Create an Installer ISO Image with a Custom Installation or Upgrade Script,” on
page 157.
n
USB Flash drive. See “Create a USB Flash Drive to Store the ESXi Installation Script or Upgrade Script,”
on page 156.
n
A network location accessible through the following protocols: NFS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP
Path to the Installation or Upgrade Script
You can specify the path to an installation or upgrade script.
ks=http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/kickstart/KS.CFG is the path to the ESXi installation script, where
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP address of the machine where the script resides. See “About Installation and
Upgrade Scripts,” on page 184.
To start an installation script from an interactive installation, you enter the ks= option manually. See “Enter
