使用 VMware OVF Tool (下載需登入) 可以把 VMX 格式 VMware image 轉成 OVF 格式,
轉完後就可以 Deploy 到 VMware ESXi

Usage: ovftool [options] <source> [<target>]
where
<source>: Source URL locator to an OVF package, VMX file, or virtual machine in
vCenter or on ESX Server.
<target>: Target URL locator which specifies either a file location, or a
location in the vCenter inventory or on an ESX Server.

例:
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool.exe "D:\MyVMX\OS X Mavericks.vmx" D:\MyOVF
Opening VMX source: D:\MyVMX\OS X Mavericks.vmx
Opening OVF target: D:\MyOVF
Writing OVF package: D:\MyOVF\OS X Mavericks\OS X Mavericks.ovf
Transfer Completed
Completed successfully

先用 netinstall.iso 開機, 若是用 PXE Linux 設定類似這樣
label CentOS-6.4-x86_64-netinstall
linux memdisk
initrd CentOS-6.4-x86_64-netinstall.iso
append iso raw

因為 FTP 多了 login 動作, 用 HTTP 會比 FTP 快一點
目錄要指到 os/i386 或 os/x86_64

CentOS 5.x Installation Method 選 FTP 或 HTTP
Web site name: ftp.twaren.net
CentOS directory: /Linux/CentOS/6.4/os/x86_64

CetntOS 6.x Installation Method 選 URL
http://ftp.twaren.net/Linux/CentOS/6.4/os/x86_64
