I am trying to install the Esxi 6.0 using foreman and the process is
completely successfully without any issues. However, the build status in
the foreman is always in the "Pending Installation" status. I tried to use
the script that other suggested as informing the foreman as 'built' using
post installation script, But, it doesn't change anything.
vmaccepteula
Set the root password
rootpw Melody1!
Install on first disk.
install --firstdisk --overwritevmfs
Set the network to DHCP on the first network adapter.
I can’t recall when it changed, but these days you have to use “<%= foreman_url('built') %>” instead of just “<%= foreman_url %>”
Kind regards,
Alex

I tried with the option that you mentioned. But no luck in that too.
The below is the kickstart cfg file that was geenrated by foreman:
vmaccepteula

I got it. Busy box wget don't have an option --no-check-certificate. I just
have to use only wget -q -O . and it did the trick.
Thank again.

Great! That makes sense. The wget you get on esx has no ssl support compiled in at all. (From experience, really infuriating when you want to download a big iso from a web server only serving https)

Hello, i have the same problem and i tried to add

wget -q -O /dev/null <%= foreman_url %>
echo “Done with Foreman call”

But it didn’t work. Still Build Pending installation.
