vSphere Auto Deploy Host Reboots After Five Minutes
A vSphere Auto Deploy host boots and displays iPXE information, but reboots after five minutes.
Problem
A host to be provisioned with vSphere Auto Deploy boots from iPXE and displays iPXE
information on the console. However, after five minutes, the host displays the following message
to the console and reboots.
This host is attempting to network-boot using VMware
AutoDeploy. However, there is no ESXi image associated with this host.

host. You can create a rule with the New-DeployRule PowerCLI cmdlet
and add it to the rule set with Add-DeployRule or Set-DeployRuleSet.
The rule should have a pattern that matches one or more of the attributes
listed below.
The host might also display the following details:

is associated with it. You can use Apply-ESXImageProfile in the
PowerCLI to associate an Image Profile with this host.

The console then displays the host's machine attributes including vendor, serial number, IP

with an image profile.
2 Run the Add-DeployRule cmdlet to add the rule to a ruleset.
