VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) is now generally available, and the delivery is via VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 1. For those using a Linux PXE boot server to install ESXi hosts, below is a quick shell script that takes care of everything automatically.
Usage example (all one line):
# esxiso2pxe /var/install/tftpboot/ esxi55u1 VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.5.0.update01-1623387.x86_64.iso
In order to use the optional ESXi submenu concept, simply add the following to pxelinux.cfg/default
LABEL esxisub KERNEL menu.c32 APPEND esxi-submenu MENU LABEL Jump to ESXi submenu
