[chef] knife-vsphere and debian6

[Elvin Abordo < >]

Is anybody out there using knife-vsphere to provision/bootstrap debian6 machines under esxi 5.5? I know vmware dropped customization spec support for debian 6. But my company is still using debian6 and we need to migrate from xenserver to esxi 5.5

Another sub question. Has anybody been successful at setting metadata on a vm that contained IP,netmask,gateway information and having a script inside of a VM poll that information via vmwaretools and dynamically set the /etc/network/interfaces file?

i know there's a couple of ways to do that via editing vmx files and executing another script on the host. But i was hoping there was a cleaner way of doing it.
