Install VMware vSphere 5.0 Auto Deploy
vSphere Auto Deploy can provision hundreds of physical hosts with ESXi software. You can specify the image to deploy and the hosts to provision with the image. Optionally, you can specify host profiles to apply to the hosts, and a vCenter Server folder or cluster for each host. When a physical host set up for Auto Deploy is turned on, Auto Deploy uses a PXE boot infrastructure in conjunction with vSphere host profiles to provision and customize that host.
You must install the Auto Deploy feature separately for each instance of vCenter Server that you plan to use the feature with. Auto Deploy is not supported with vCenter Server versions earlier than version 5.0.
