Actually, this happened last week – but I was so flattened by work leading up to VMworld – the joint announcement planned by myself and Carl fell flat on it face! That’s completely my mistake, as I totally dropped the ball on this one.

In case you don’t know the Ultimate Deployment Appliance (UDA) is a Community Project that I have promoted and used for some years – its an all-in-one PXE/DHCP/TFTP Appliance that massively simplifies the deployment of many operating systems – and I primarily use it for deploying VMware ESXi.

In my tests i found that merely selecting ESXi 5 Installable in the UDA menus and then selecting the ESXi 6 .iso worked right of the box. So it was a piece of cake for Carl to produce a patch bundle that allows you to select ESXi 6 from the menus to keep things both neat and logical.

The patch bundle can be download either from my site or Carl’s
