Re: [Qemu-discuss] ESXi prebuilt image

[Jan Schermer]

You can’t redistribute that image legally, which is probably why you didn’t 
find any.

Solution:

virt-install --connect=qemu:///system -n esxi --cpu=host --vcpus=2 \
--ram 4096 --os-type=linux \
--cdrom=/tank/images/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0.update01-5969303.x86_64.iso 
\
--disk \
path=/dev/zvol/tank/volumes/esxi,bus=ide \
--hvm --network bridge=br-vm,model=e1000 --virt-type=kvm --arch=x86_64 \
--graphics spice --accelerate --video qxl --channel spicevmc
