I need to install esxi on a bunch of hosts in the next coming weeks and can't use PXE boot nor can I do vmware's AutoDeploy. I installed Cobbler in CentOS 7 in vmware workstation 12 VM running on Windows 10 on my laptop. The idea is I can just use that along with the cobbler boot ISO and some kickstart files. For the life of me I cannot get "cobbler buildiso" to kickout a bootable ISO. The VM I am attempting to boot does not boot and when I try to just mount the ISO in windows I get an error stating "the disk image file is corrupted". From what I can tell based on the output of running "cobbler buildiso" it's actually calling mkisofs like so:
mkisofs -o /root/bootattempts/boot.iso -r -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -V Cobbler\ Install -R -T /var/cache/cobbler/buildiso Any ideas? Is there more info I can provide? I'm primarily a Windows guy so there really could just be something obvious I'm missing ;)
