Import a Host Profile (PAGE 9)
You can import a profile from a file in the VMware profile format (.vpf).
NOTE When a host profile is exported, administrator and user profile passwords are not exported. This is a
security measure and stops passwords from being exported in plain text when the profile is exported. You will
be prompted to re-enter the values for the password after the profile is imported and the password is applied
to a host.
Procedure
1 In the Host Profiles main view, click the Create Profile icon.
The Create Profile wizard appears.
2 Select the option to import a profile and click Next.
3 Enter or browse the VMware Profile Format file to import and click Next.
Clone a Host Profile (PAGE 10)
A host profile clone is a copy of an existing host profile.
Procedure
1 In the Host Profiles main view, select the profile to clone.
2 Click Clone Profile.
3 A clone of the profile appears in the Host Profiles view.
Thanks your documentation, Scott.
I corrected the answers.
