Table 2‑16. Rule Engine PowerCLI Cmdlets (Continued)
Command Description
Get-DeployOption
Retrieves the vSphere Auto Deploy global configuration options.
This cmdlet currently supports the vlan-id option, which
specifies the default VLAN ID for the ESXi Management
Network of a host provisioned with vSphere Auto Deploy.
vSphere Auto Deploy uses the value only if the host boots
without a host profile.
Set-DeployOption
Sets the value of a global configuration option. Currently
supports the vlan-id option for setting the default VLAN ID for
the ESXi Management Network.
Add-ProxyServer
Adds a proxy server to the vSphere Auto Deploy database. Run
the command with the -Address parameter to specify the IPv4
or IPv6 address. The address can include a port number.
List-ProxyServer
Lists the proxy servers that are currently registered with vSphere
Auto Deploy.
Delete-ProxyServer
Deletes one or more proxy servers from the list of proxy servers
that are registered with vSphere Auto Deploy. You can run the
command with the -id parameter from the list of proxy servers
or with the-Address parameter by specifying the IPv4 or IPv6
address of the proxy server you want to delete.
Add-ScriptBundle
Adds one or more script bundles to the vSphere Auto Deploy
server.
Get-ScriptBundle
Retrieves the list of script bundles available on the vSphere Auto
Deploy server and the scripts they contain.
Assign an Image Profile to Hosts
Before you can provision a host, you must create rules that assign an image profile to each host that you
want to provision by using vSphere Auto Deploy.
vSphere Auto Deploy extensibility rules enforce that VIBs at the CommunitySupported level can only
contain files from certain predefined locations, such as the ESXCLI plug-in path, jumpstart plug-in path,
and so on. If you add a VIB that is in a different location to an image profile, a warning results. You can
override the warning by using the force option.
If you call the New-DeployRule cmdlet on an image profile that includes VIBs at the
CommunitySupported level which violate the rule, set $DeployNoSignatureCheck = $true before
adding the image profile. With that setting, the system ignores signature validation and does not perform
the extensibility rules check.
Note Image profiles that include VIBs at the CommunitySupported level are not supported on production
systems.
