Explanation

Auto Deploy enables an untrained IT professional to increase capacity while ensuring quality and consistency within a cluster. However, there is a dependency on the vCenter server and Auto Deploy server roles at different times. In this case, the ESXi hosts have already booted successfully. This means that all subsequent reboots will be controlled using configuration from the Auto Deploy server, not vCenter. If the vCenter database is impacted, the ESXi hosts will automatically restore. Even in the event of no vCenter availability, hosts will use the last-known copy of a distributed switch or the configured vSphere switch. Chapter X, Putting it all together
