Autodeploy / Host Profile Maintenance Mode options

[cann0nf0dder]

Currently auto deploy process would load ESXi, apply host profile and exit the host from maintenance mode.

Is anyone aware of Host Profile options that would force the host to stay in Maintenance Mode after the reboot?

thanks!

This should work, leave an answer on the host profile that requires input to complete and the host will remain in Maintenance mode.You must reapply the host profile and answer any questions to have the host exit maintenance mode. See Applying a Host Profile to Prompt for User Input.
