I am having an issue with auto deploy and am not understanding if what is going on is by design or i am not doing something correctly.
So I have a two node cluster that I have booting from a copy of the default image ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-standard, my version is called ESXi_5.5 every things works as expected and i have the answer files and host profiles all working. When I reboot a host and it comes back and gets it's image, adds itself to the cluster, applies its host profile, takes itself out of Maintenance mode and configures HA. Ok everything is Peachy.
So now I have made a new Image with some additional Drivers that I needed (This Image is called ESX_5.5New) and killed my old active deploy rules and deleted them, created new deploy rules and made them active. The New Deploy Rules work sort of.
If I reboot the host it still gets the old image with out the new drivers. Yet if i shut the host off and kick him out of vcenter and then boot him back up, he will get the new image. Surely this is not what you have to do everytime you update the image. am I missing something here?
I have run the get-Cluster DR-Test | Get-vmhost | Test-DeployRuleSetCompliance and both servers come back as compliant.
