OVF Format (Zipped) TTYLinuxĭamn Small Linux (hosted on virtuallymikebrown. MicroCore Linux – in OVA Format SliTaz4.0 Size: 64MB RAM/SCSI HD (LSI Logic) 1GB (Thinly Provisioned) NEW! MicroCore Linux (with open-source VMware Tools) I think that’s to do with the types of file system supported in each distro.

Whereas DSL (especially) and TTYLinux (less so) would often fail to boot after a dirty shutdown and require a file system check. By robust I mean I could kill the VM and it would come back up without an error. My personal preference is for SliTaz which although is bigger than Damn Small Linux and TTYLinux – I found more “robust”. So I’ve created a bundle for you to choose to download or ones that are available else where. Sadly, there is always a ready to download VMware OVF/OVA to get started with.

Often these start their lives as “boot CD” design for troubleshooting, and then they evolve into something you can install to disk or USB drive. If you want a number of VMs to play with a good option is to use some super-skinny Linux distribution. As we all know memory (and to a much less degree disk space) is premium in a home lab. I’ve got a range of terrifyingly small OVFs/OVAs for use in your home lab.

Multipathing Configuration for Software iSCSI Using Port Binding – key esxcli commands for iSCSI.

Konstantinos Michalitsis – Who provided the base subtemplate/template which I then modified.

Rather than re-inventing the wheel, I used sources/resources from the community. That’s because its been a while since I’ve done serious ESX “kickstart/Weasel” scripting and my own scripts were horribly out-of-date. My scripts were built from a couple of resource which I’d like to acknowledge here. But there’s no shortage of people who share the scripts with the community such as this one from Dean Colpitts. I have a sample subtemplate and template files that I use on my own lab environment.

You need patch 20, 23 and 26 added sequentially to make the UDA support VMware ESXi.ĭownload UDA 2.0 – Patch to Build 20 (Added suppor fort ESXi5)ĭownload UDA 2.0 – Patch to Build 23 (Adds support for Windows 2008, Windows 7 and Windows 2012)ĭownload UDA 2.0 – Patch to Build 26 (Added ESXi6 Support) The current version is UDA 2.0 Build 17, and there is a series patch to take it up to Build 26. The official site for the UDA is which hosts the VMware Workstation version, whereas I host the VMware ESX version – and you can get “support” on how to deploy ESX with the UDA by posting to this thread on the VMware VMTN Communities Forum. The creator of UDA is Carl Thijssen who is based in the Netherlands. You can see like a poor-mans Alteris or HP Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP). The UDA is a Linux based virtual appliance – which is a PXE/TFTP/Web-front end system designed to deploy many different operating systems – can be used to deploy ESX4/5 in a scripted installation process. This template currently will NOT work with VMware Fusion, and has NOT been tested on VMware Workstation.įor more information consult this blogpost: It implements ALL the performance enhancements implemented in vSphere 6.5 U1, and has been tested with vSphere 6.7. It’s specifically configured to allow for clustered VMware vSphere VSAN configuration. This OVA template allow you to run VMware ESXi inside a VM running on top a physical VMware ESXi host.
