Installing the Auto Deploy server

The Auto Deploy server software component is available on the vCenter Server installation DVD. The installation can be initiated from the installation Welcome screen.

How to do it…

The following procedure will guide you through the steps required to install Auto Deploy server.

You can start the installation wizard by clicking on the Install button on the vSphere installation DVD welcome screen, to bring up the vSphere Auto Deploy install wizard. Click on Next to continue.

Accept the EULA.
Choose the destination install folder, Auto Deploy Repository directory, and the planned maximum size of the Auto Deploy repository and click on Next.
Note
The default size of the Auto Deploy repository is 2 GB, which is as per the best practice to allow enough room in the repository for four (4) Image Profiles. Each Image Profile requires approximately 350 MB of free repository space.
By default, the installer will dump the files into the following directory:
```
c:\Program Files(x86...
```
