Using the MEM with AutoDeploy
The Dell EqualLogic MEM supports the AutoDeploy feature in ESXi that allows building images for automatically deploying ESXi hosts. To
add the MEM to the boot image, perform the following additional steps while preparing the image profile using the PowerCLI:
NOTE: MEM AutoDeploy is not supported if the import to PowerStore functionality is enabled.
1. Import the MEM offline bundle using the Add-EsxSoftwareDepot command. For example:
Add-EsxSoftwareDepot depot dell-eql-mem-esxn-version.zip
2. Add the three VIBs in the MEM to the image profile. For example:
Add-EsxSoftwarePackage -imageprofile name -SoftwarePackage
dell-eql-routed-psp
Add-EsxSoftwarePackage -imageprofile name -SoftwarePackage
dell-eql-host-connection-mgr
Add-EsxSoftwarePackage -imageprofile name -SoftwarePackage
dell-eql-hostprofile
See the vSphere Installation and Setup documentation available from VMware for more information about AutoDeploy.
The AutoDeploy feature is frequently used with host profiles. For details, see EqualLogic MEM Configuration Using Host Profiles.
