Very long story short, need to upgrade VM Tools from 10.x to 11.x on 100s of auto deploy 6.5 U2 ESXi hosts (UCS Blades). The customer is NOT in a position to upgrade to 6.7 with the latest 11.x tools already embedded.
I am trying to create one of the following. Also open to any better ideas:
1 - Custom Cisco AD 6.5 U2 image with latest patches and 11.x tools embedded
2 - Custom Cisco AD 6.5 U2 image with no tools and use the /var/productlocker settings on hosts to point to 11.x tools on a shared datastore.
Thanks in advance
