Auto Deploy host not adding into VC

[harrygunter]

Hi all,

Just setting up auto deploy and can't get the hosts to appear in the VC, if I add them manually they go in no problem.

I've check the dns and reverse lookups, all ok there.

I have attached a host profile to the auto deploy rule and that runs ok but just doesnt add the host in?

The VC and auto deploy servers are on the same network and site with the hosts management network on a different network and site, i've checked 902, 443, 80 and all seem ok (the host adds in manually anyway so dont see its a firewall problem)

In the Application event logs in the auto deploy i get a lot of event id 1's with plugins:ERROR....

I've uninstalled and re-installed / registered it but still throws out the same errors?

Any ideas?

Cheers

Mark

Can you share the output of the PowerCLI cmdlet:

get-deployruleset | fl

Are you seeing anything in the vCenter logs or the AutoDeploy logs in the vCenter client?  Does the status of the AutoDeploy service check out OK as viewed by the vCenter client?

Are you using vCenter Server installable or the vCenter appliance?

Here's a useful KB article:

Hi, thanks for the response..

Rueset as follows.

PowerCLI C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI> Get-DeployRuleset

Name        : 5.1.0-799733-HA-NetApp
PatternList : {ipv4=10.11.40.100-10.11.40.110}
ItemList    : {Stateless}

AutoDeploy service running and green in VC.

The VC is a 2008r2 box, AutoDeploy is a 2008r2 box on the same subnet, host in a different site on a different subnet.

Now if I add a host profile onto the auto deploy rule the host profile attaches to the host but the host still does not add into the VC.

I have looked at the autodeploy logs and the error seems to start from the lines below

I've uninstalled autodeploy and re-installed it but get the same result.

Hi

Welcome to the communities.

It seems some problem network  or firewall port blocking .

Please do all telnet & tracert to find out the break.

Hi,

Surely if I can add the host in manually then it's not a firewall issue?

I have checked 902, 443, and 80 from vc to host and all is fine there.

6501 from autodeploy to host is fine also.

Cheers
