Reprovisioning Hosts
vSphere Auto Deploy supports multiple reprovisioning options. You can perform a simple reboot or
reprovision with a different image profile or a different host profile.
A first boot using Auto Deploy requires that you set up your environment and add rules to the rule set. See
the topic "Preparing for vSphere Auto Deploy" in the vSphere installation and Setup documentation.
The following reprovisioning operations are available.
n
Simple reboot.
n
Reboot of hosts for which the user answered questions during the boot operation.
n
Reprovision with a different image profile.
n
Reprovision with a different host profile.
Reprovision Hosts with Simple Reboot Operations
A simple reboot of a host that is provisioned with Auto Deploy requires only that all prerequisites are still
met. The process uses the previously assigned image profile, host profile, and vCenter Server location.
Setup includes DHCP server setup, writing rules, and making an image profile available to the Auto Deploy
infrastructure.
Prerequisites
Make sure the setup you performed during the first boot operation is in place.
Procedure
1 Check that the image profile and host profile for the host are still available, and that the host has the
identifying information (asset tag, IP address) it had during previous boot operations.
2 Place the host in maintenance mode.
Host Type Action
Host is part of a DRS cluster
VMware DRS migrates virtual machines to appropriate hosts when you
place the host in maintenance mode.
Host is not part of a DRS cluster
You must migrate all virtual machines to different hosts and place each
host in maintenance mode.
3 Reboot the host.
The host shuts down. When the host reboots, it uses the image profile that the Auto Deploy server provides.
The Auto Deploy server also applies the host profile stored on the vCenter Server system.
Reprovision a Host with a New Image Profile
You can reprovision the host with a new image profile, host profile, or vCenter Server location by changing
the rule for the host and performing a test and repair compliance operation.
Several options for reprovisioning hosts exist.
n
If the VIBs that you want to use support live update, you can use an esxcli software vib command. In
that case, you must also update the rule set to use an image profile that includes the new VIBs.
n
During testing, you can apply an image profile to an individual host with the Apply-EsxImageProfile
cmdlet and reboot the host so the change takes effect. The Apply-EsxImageProfile cmdlet updates the
association between the host and the image profile but does not install VIBs on the host.
n
In all other cases, use this procedure.
