PXE Manager Fling blog series

Duncan Epping · Jul 11, 2011 ·

One of the upcoming blogs which I really enjoy reading is Arent Consulting by Tom Arentsen. I know Tom for a while as I have been involved with some of his projects and he really knows what he is talking about and is a nice guy. I just noticed his series of articles on the PXE Manager fling and felt that it deserved more attention than it has been getting so far.

PXE Manager is a great fling which enables enables ESXi host state (firmware) management and provisioning. It is probably my favorite fling and I most definitely recommend reading the following articles to get a better understanding of how it works and how it can help you migrating to ESXi or simplifying your ESXi environment!

  • PXE Manager Part 0 – Introduction
  • PXE Manager Part I – PXE Manager Installation
  • PXE Manager Part II – PXE Agent Installation
  • PXE Manager Part III – Configuration of PXE Manager
  • PXE Manager Part IV – Add a driver into the ESXi image (oem.tgz)
  • PXE Manager Part V – Add a Stateful ESXi Host
  • PXE Manager Part VI – How does it work

If you have some spare time on your hands, read the article and play around with the Fling.

    Great fling indeed. But sorry for the blog, I remember the author not knowing how a port-channel works, 3 years ago. Now he is a VCDX, i don’t know the criteria but he must have studied a lot! (or the skill level is not so high)

    I would suggest you go through the process yourself and then decide if the skill level is not so high or he has studied a lot.
