CE Nested on ESXi Disk Descriptor

Question

Hey all, 
Does anyone have, by any chance, a disk descriptor file for the new CE image file? I am installing CE as a single node and when performing the upgrade by uploading the binaries it fails constantly. Most likely due to NTP restrictions because my lab admin has NTP blocked on this network. I also don't have access to VMFS on the hosts to make a descriptor file. Hopefully someone out there has one similar to the last version.

Thanks

In case anyone else comes across this thread while looking for ce-2019.02.11-stable here's what I used for mine on esxi 6.7.0u3:

code:

# Disk DescriptorFile
version=1
encoding="UTF-8"
CID=bdbb27c4
parentCID=ffffffff
createType="vmfs"


# Extent description
RW 14540800 VMFS "ce-2019.02.11-stable-flat.vmdk"


# The Disk Data Base
#DDB


ddb.adapterType = "pvscsi"
ddb.geometry.cylinders = "905"
ddb.geometry.heads = "255"
ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"
ddb.longContentID = "99ed32867ecdfc8ab849eba1bdbb27c4"
ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 99 b9 db 32 0b-b7 3f ea 4e b2 b1 90 03"
ddb.virtualHWVersion = "14"
