Which two identification sources can a vSphere Auto Deploy rule use to identify target hosts? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is C. SMBIOS information D. BIOS UUID. vSphere Auto Deploy uses SMBIOS information and BIOS UUID as host identification attributes within deploy rules to match physical hosts to specific image profiles and host profiles.

Why each option

vSphere Auto Deploy uses SMBIOS information and BIOS UUID as host identification attributes within deploy rules to match physical hosts to specific image profiles and host profiles.

AProcessor Serial Number

Processor Serial Number is not a supported identification attribute in vSphere Auto Deploy rules; the feature relies on SMBIOS-level system data and BIOS UUID rather than individual CPU serial identifiers.

BSecurity Identifier

Security Identifier (SID) is a Windows and Active Directory concept used to identify user and group objects - it is not a hardware-level identification source recognized by the vSphere Auto Deploy rule engine.

CSMBIOS informationCorrect

SMBIOS (System Management BIOS) data - which includes vendor, product name, model, and serial number fields exposed by the system firmware - is a supported identification attribute in Auto Deploy rules and enables targeting of specific hardware models or individual systems.

DBIOS UUIDCorrect

The BIOS UUID is a globally unique identifier embedded in the system firmware and exposed via SMBIOS; Auto Deploy rules match on this UUID to precisely identify and assign individual physical hosts to a specific image profile and configuration.
