Con la release de vSphere 5.0U1, Ubuntu ha vuelto a estar soportado en la lista de Guests para personalizar sus templates. Lamentablemente, Debian Squeeze se ha quedado fuera y no se pueden personalizar… O si?
Quien haya intentado personalizar una debian, puede haber llegado como mucho a esta situación:
root@debian-template:/tmp# cat /var/log/vmware-imc/toolsDeployPkg.log

Bien. Hasta aqui llega el log de la personalización. Sin embargo, podemos ver que lo ha hecho todo bien, se ha quedado justo al final:

Bueno, pues si no ha encontrado /etc/dhcp3, habrá que dárselo. Adelante con el HOWTO Customize Debian guest on ESXi (vCenter 5.0U1)
Como personalizar plantillas Debian Squeeze en ESXi
1. Convertir la plantilla Debian a VM por un momento.
2. VM Settings > pestaña Options > Elegimos Ubuntu Linux (XXbit) como opción de Guest OS (una pequeña mentirijilla)
3. Arrancamos la VM y entrando como root, hacemos
ln -s /etc/dhcp /etc/dhcp3
4. Reconvertimos la VM a Template.
5. Desplegar el Guest Debian usando una personalizacion de plantilla.
6 (opcional). Cambiamos el sistema operativo a Debian linux en la maquina que acabamos de desplegar.
English version
Customizing Debian Guest Templates on ESXi 5.0U1 and vCenter/vSphere 5.0U1
1. Convert your Debian Guest Template to VM for a while
2. VM Settings > Options Tab > Choose Ubuntu Linux (XXbit) as the installed Guest OS (this is just a little lie)
3. Power on the VM and login as root to execute the following:
ln -s /etc/dhcp /etc/dhcp3
4. Convert the VM back to Template
5. Deploy your Debian Template with guest customizations without a problem.
6 (optional). Change the Guest OS setting in the options tab of the newly created VM back to Debian Linux.
