To solve this doc bug, take the readme text from the patch, or reference it somewhere. Potentially the vmware section of the config guide.

Tracy, does this make this section obsolete?

"You must modify the ESXi firewall configuration to allow the VNC ports. Additionally, for the firewall modifications to persist after a reboot, you must create a custom vSphere Installation Bundle (VIB) which is then installed onto the running ESXi host or added to a custom image profile used to install ESXi hosts. For details about how to create a VIB for persisting the firewall configuration modifications, see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2007381"

@Andy The README file contains a link to a git repo which contains the VIB that persists the firewall configuration. I think that we can keep the quoted section and just add a note that the VIB can be downloaded from https://github.com/openstack-vmwareapi-team/Tools.git

    Added link to resource

    To complete the configuration for firewall to allow VNC, a VIB is
    required. The doc did not show how to obtain the VIB. Added a note
    with a link to the git repo containing the package.
