Changing Keyboard & Region In ESX Deployment Appliance

I’ve been using the ESX Deployment Appliance for a while now and really, really love it.  One thing that I have had to do though is to change the regional settings and keyboard settings to be UK based instead of US based for the deployed ESX installations.

It’s not difficult to do so here’s how:

Log into the appliance

Open /var/www/ks/ks.php with vi

Change the following:

lang en_US to lang en_UK

langsupport –default en_US to langsupport –default en_UK

keyboard us to keyboard uk

That should be it, as these changes don’t require a reboot. You can check whether they were applied correctly by clicking the ks link next to one of your hosts in the EDA web interface:
