Name the Rule and Define Matching Criteria in the New Deploy Rule Wizard

When you start the New Deploy Rule wizard, you must first enter a rule name and select a pattern to apply the rule to some or all hosts in the inventory.

Procedure

1. On the Name and hosts page of the wizard, enter a name for the new rule.
2. Select a pattern to apply the rule to the hosts in the inventory.
   You can select to apply the rule to all the hosts in the inventory or to apply the rule only to hosts that match a specific pattern. You can select one or more patterns.
   For example, the rule can apply only to hosts in a vCenter Single Sign-On domain, with a specific host name, or that match a specific IPv4 range.
3. Click Next.
