removed deployrule but esxi host still booting

[tdubb123]

i removed the deployruleset in autodeploy but when i reboot the pxe boot host, it is still booting to deployrule. any ideas?

Make sure you put -Delete, Remove-DeployRule -Delete

[tomtom901]

Or set it inactive by using Remove DeployRule <name> -NoActivate

[tdubb123]

get-deployrule show no deployrule. so there is no active rule but still the host is booting

Hi

Welcome to the communities.

Could you please disable it on BIOS ( pxe boot ) ?

If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me.

[tomtom901]

Could you do a:

Get-VMHostMatchingRules <ip address of the host still doing PXE boot>

[tdubb123]

i did. and its shows nothing. blank

[tdubb123]

any idea on this? I shutdown the virtualcenter and the host will nolonger boot. But once vcenter is backon, it will pxeboot

[tomtom901]

Are the vCenter and the Auto Deploy service installed on the same machine? Or are these seperate?

[tdubb123]

yes on the same machine

[tomtom901]

Are there other hosts using Auto Deploy? If not, a reinstall of the Auto Deploy service might be best.

[tdubb123]

is there a autodeploy cache somewhere i can delete in vc?

[tomtom901]

You could try:

Repair-DeployImageCache in PowerCLI
