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.
