Clone a Deploy Rule

You can use a vSphere Auto Deploy rule as a template and modify only parts of the rule instead of creating a new one.

Prerequisites

• Prepare your system and install the Auto Deploy Server. For more information, see Prepare Your System for vSphere Auto Deploy.
• Create a vSphere Auto Deploy rule. See Create a Deploy Rule.
• If you want to include an image profile to the rule, verify that the software depot you need is added to the inventory. See Add a Software Depot or Import a Software Depot.

What to do next

• Activate a vSphere Auto Deploy rule. See Activate, Deactivate, and Reorder Deploy Rules.
• Edit a vSphere Auto Deploy rule. See Editing a Deploy Rule.
