Performing a Scripted Installation or Upgrade of ESXi by PXE Booting the Installer

ESXi 5.x provides many options for PXE booting the installer and using an installation or upgrade script.

For information about setting up a PXE infrastructure, see “PXE Booting the ESXi Installer,” on

page 158.

For information about creating and locating an installation script, see “About Installation and Upgrade

Scripts,” on page 184.

For specific procedures to PXE boot the ESXi installer and use an installation script, see one of the

following topics:

“PXE Boot the ESXi Installer by Using PXELINUX and an isolinux.cfg PXE Configuration File,” on

page 163

“PXE Boot the ESXi Installer by Using PXELINUX and a PXE Configuration File,” on page 161

“PXE Boot the ESXi Installer Using gPXE,” on page 164

For information about using Auto Deploy to perform a scripted upgrade by PXE booting, see “Using

vSphere Auto Deploy to Reprovision Hosts,” on page 196.

Using vSphere Auto Deploy to Reprovision Hosts

If a host was deployed using vSphere Auto Deploy, you can use Auto Deploy to reprovision the host with a

new image profile that contains an ESXi upgrade. You can use vSphere ESXi Image Builder PowerCLI to

create and manage image profiles.

These instructions assume that you are reprovisioning a host that has already been provisioned with Auto

Deploy. Provisioning a host that has never been provisioned with Auto Deploy differs from the process

described here to upgrade a host. For information about using vSphere Auto Deploy and ESXi Image

Builder PowerCLI, see the information about using vSphere Auto Deploy and vSphere ESXi Image Builder

CLI in the vSphere Installation and Setup documentation.
