Some of the hosts in the vSphere Auto Deploy inventory might not be compliant with the active deploy rules. To verify that one or more ESXi hosts are compliant with the active rule set, you must check the host associations compliance.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. On the vSphere Web Client Home page, click Auto Deploy.
    By default, only the Administrator role has privileges to use the vSphere Auto Deploy service.
  2. Check the host associations compliance
    The Check Host Associations Compliance window displays the current status of the host and whether the host is compliant with the active rule set. You can view the currently assigned image profile, host profile, host location, script bundle, and the associations that will take effect after a remediation of the host. You can assign a script bundle to a host only by using PowerCLI cmdlets.
    Option Steps
    If you want to check the host associations compliance of a single host
    1. On the Deployed Hosts tab, select an ESXi host.
    2. Click Check Host Associations Compliance.
    3. Check if the host associations are compliant with the current active rule set.
    4. Close the Check Host Associations Compliance window.
      • If you want to remediate the host, click Remediate.
      • If you do not want to remediate the host, click Close.
    If you want to check the host associations compliance of multiple hosts
    1. On the Deployed Hosts tab, use Shift+left-click or Ctrl+left-click to select multiple ESXi hosts.
    2. Click Check Host Associations Compliance.
    3. Confirm that you want to check the compliance of all selected hosts.
    4. Review the compliance status of the hosts in the left pane.
    5. (Optional) In the left pane, select a host to view the compliance status details in the right pane.
    6. (Optional) Select one or multiple hosts and click Remediate Selected Hosts to remediate them.
      • Click the check box of each host you want to select.
      • Click the Hosts check box to select all hosts.
    7. Click Close to close the Check Host Associations Compliance window.
