Welcome message for the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI)-BE6K/7K

We can customize our BE6K/7k welcome message . Below mentioned welcome message is one which i used on my lab. its a good practice to customize the Welcome message and not to use the default one. This will help you to identify the applications installed. In this Topic i share with you the script and the steps to apply this custom script.

bgcolor:black , you can change the colour to match your requirement. This command will change the text background color. in this script i use black colour as the background.

{color:white} This command will define the text colour.

{esxversion} This command will automatically identify the version of ESXI installed. So even upgraded, it will display the version properly.

http://{ip}/ This command identify the ip address and will display on the console.

You need to customise the message asper your requirment. You need to play with the spacing between the script so that you will have the messages in right place.
