auto deploy host profile and answer file

$

0

I am trying to get auto deploy working but so far I have not been able to apply the host profile to the host. I keep getting non compliant host.

 

Basically I started off with a host install, customized it,  mgmt, vmotion, vm port groups and nics, luns all zoned in, ntp configured.

 

This host is the only host in the cluster.

 

Then I have 3 other hosts that I have ready to boot from auto deploy

 

It boots fine and downloads the image. It joins the cluster but it s set at dhcp, no hostname configured, no port groups set.

 

My deploy rules are as follow..

 

Name        : TestRule1
PatternList : {vendor=Dell Inc.}
ItemList    : {ESXi5-install, CLuster1, DR-ESXi5}
Name        : TestRule2
PatternList :
ItemList    : {ESXi5-install}
DR-ESXi5 is the host profile in vcenter that is using the host I have installed as a reference host.
any idea what is going on? 

 

cghecking compliiance on the newly boot up says its noncompliant.

checking the answer file status saus its incomplete.
