When you add a rule to the vSphere Auto Deploy active rule set or make changes to one or more rules, hosts are not updated automatically. You must remediate the host associations to apply the new rules to the host.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Home > Auto Deploy.
    By default, only the administrator role has privileges to use the vSphere Auto Deploy service.
  2. On the Deployed Hosts tab, select a single or multiple ESXi hosts.
  3. Click Remediate Host Associations.
    If you remediate a host that has an edited image profile association, the host reverts to the settings defined in the rule that it matches.
    You can monitor the progress of the remediation process in the Recent Tasks pane.
