# Description: PowerCLI script to deploy a fully functional vSphere 6.0 lab consisting of 3
#               Nested ESXi hosts enable w/vSAN + VCSA 6.0u2. Expects a single physical ESXi host
#               as the endpoint and all four VMs will be deployed to physical ESXi host
# Reference: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2016/11/vghetto-automated-vsphere-lab-deployment-for-vsphere-6-0u2-vsphere-6-5.html

#
# Changelog
# 11/22/16
#   * Automatically handle Nested ESXi on vSAN
# 01/20/17
#   * Resolved "Another task in progress" thanks to Jason M
# 02/12/17
#   * Support for deploying to VC Target
#   * Support for enabling SSH on VCSA
#   * Added option to auto-create vApp Container for VMs
#   * Added pre-check for required files
# 02/17/17
#   * Added missing dvFilter param to eth1 (missing in Nested ESXi OVA)
