vSphere Installation and Setup 7 Use the Auto Deploy PowerCLI to write a rule that applies the host profile of your reference host to all hosts immediately when they boot. Auto-partitioning is performed when the hosts boot. Advanced Management Tasks In most cases, you manage your Auto Deploy environment by preparing system setup, writing rules, and provisioning hosts. In some cases, you might perform advanced management tasks such as reregistering the Auto Deploy server or assigning a static IP address to each host. Reregister Auto Deploy If the IP address of the vCenter Server changes, you must reregister Auto Deploy. Regardless of whether you are using the vCenter Server Appliance or a vCenter Server system installed on Windows, you must stop the Auto Deploy process and reregister Auto Deploy if the vCenter Server IP address changes. Procedure u Perform the reregistration task depending on the operating system. Platform Windows VMware vCenter Server Appliance Task a Stop the Auto Deploy process. net stop vmware-autodeploy-waiter b Edit the setup file located at c:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Auto Deploy\vmconfig-autodeploy.xml and specify the new IP address. You do not have to edit the file if you reregister for other reasons than a new IP address. c Run the autodeploy-register.exe command, specifying all required options. autodeploy-register.exe -R -a vCenter-IP -p vCenter-Port -u user_name -w password -s setup-file-path d Restart the Auto Deploy process. net start vmware-autodeploy-waiter a Stop the Auto Deploy process. /etc/init.d/vmware-rbd-watchdog stop b Run the autodeploy-register command, specifying all required options. autodeploy-register -R -a vCenter-IP -p vCenter-Port -u user_name -w password -s setup-file-path c Restart the Auto Deploy process. /etc/init.d/vmware-rbd-watchdog start You can also use the Start ESXi Services and Stop ESXi Services buttons in the vCenter Server Appliance. Set Up Host Profiles for Static IP Addresses in the vSphere Web Client By default, hosts provisioned with Auto Deploy are assigned DHCP addresses by a DHCP server. You can use the Auto Deploy host customization mechanism to assign static IP addresses to hosts. Prerequisites n Set up your Auto Deploy environment. 194 VMware, Inc.
