Auto-deploy cache location and verification

Hello,

I am currently testing the auto-deploy feature in lab and I'm having some issues with the stateless caching:

I configured stateless caching through host profile and my host is shown as compliant to the profile in the vSphere client.

If I stop my TFTP / DHCP server, my host seems to boot on the cache (I have an alert flag in my vCenter stating that it is not compliant with the profile)

I tried to stop the auto-deploy service to check the stateless caching feature (as per Auto Deploy Stateless Caching – Auto Deploy Server Outage | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs )

It reboots and try again indefinitely without booting on the cached image, that makes me think I might have a problem with the cache.

I want to verify that the ESXi is well cached on the disk. Is there a way to perform such a check?

How can I find the cache location?

Thanks,

Sevan
