Virtualization Host features

These features enable you to deploy Hyper-V, ESX, or ESXi via a scripted install.

The design of the Hyper-V features is very similar to Windows.

The design of the ESX features is very similar to Linux.

Imaging of virtualization hosts is not supported.

The scripted install jobs include a system configuration task to enable processor virtualization
extensions.

Design of ESXi is not similar to other operating systems: ESXi does not run Altris Adlagent, but is
an agent-less deployment. Limited network configuration tasks are supported on ESXi from RDP
6.3.1 and later; however, network configuration tasks ( known as reconfigure tasks) must be
scheduled before scheduling ESXi deployment task
