Hi,
I'm having a slight block about image profiles.
You load a software depot in powercli and then you have image profiles that will list. These are not persistant between powercli sessions. I have created an image profile and added a VIB to it.... saved it as a software depot.zip.
I am fine with that... but when I autodeploy a host by attaching the image profile to a deploy rule... where is that image profile? It doesn't persist between powercli sessions.. and if I modify it in a powercli session by say removing or adding a VIB, I have to first add the software depot and then I can modify the image profile. The image profile must live somehwere for the hosts to autodeply from, on the vcenter server. I don't understand why we can' get at that image profile without loading the software depot and then modifying the image profile - which you then don't really save in anyway... am I missing something really basic here or what? I've been working with this all day long now and I am fine with most of it, but I just don't quit get this.
can anyone enlighten me, thanks
Bill
