# Boxgrinder ESX Delivery Plugin
Deliver appliances to VMWare ESX hypervisors
# Pre-requisites
* Boxgrinder
* VMWare ESX/ESXi hypervisor with SSH service enabled
# Install
$ gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc boxgrinder-esx-delivery-plugin
# Usage
$ boxgrinder-build -l esx-delivery-plugin \
-p vmware --platform-config type:personal,thin_disk:true \
-d esx --delivery-config esx_host:esx-test-host,esx_user:root,esx_password:secret \
my-appliance.appl
Boxgrinder will build the appliance, convert the appliance disk image to
a suitable VMDK variant and the resulting VMDK will be uploaded to the ESX host via SSH
and used to creat a virtual machine in that ESX host.
#ESX delivery plugin configuration parameters
The ESX Boxgrinder delivery plugin accepts the following list of config parameters:
**esx_host:** the ESX hostname/ipaddress. Default is 127.0.0.1.
**esx_user:** the ESX user to use. Default is root.
**esx_password:** the ESX password to use. Default is secret.
**datastore:** the ESX datastore to use. Default is datastore1.
**name:** the target virtual machine name. Default is Virtual Appliance name.
**memory:** the amount of RAM the appliance will have. Default is 512 MB.
**cpu:** the number of CPUs the appliance will have. Default 1.
All the config parameters have default values. Use the **--delivery-config** Boxgrinder parameter to configure the appliance upload to fit your needs.
Make sure you define at lease **esx_host, esx_user and esx_password** parametes to fit your needs.
