Scenario 14
< Back | Next>
Scenario:
You are responsible for managing a growing vSphere environment. You want to implement host profiles as a tool to maintain a consistent ESXi host configuration.
Requirements:
- Create a new host profile from a reference ESXi host.
- Use the profile to determine any inconsistencies in the configuration of the reference host and a second host.
- Use the profile to change the configuration of the second host to make it consistent with the reference host.
- Use the profile to verify that the changes were made successfully.
Environment Information:
- Host profile name: Profile-02
- Reference ESXi host: host-01.lab.local
- Target ESXi host: host-02.lab.local
Objective: 5.1 Implement and Maintain Host Profiles

- in the wizard, select Inventory > Hosts and Clusters and select host-02.lab.local.
- Click the Host Profile tab > Check for compliance.
