Introduction

The Customize Host Profile Settings module provides you with the instruction and server hardware to develop your hands on skills in the defined topics. This module includes the following exercises:

• Create/Edit/Remove a Host Profile from an ESXi host
• Import/Export a Host Profile

Exercise 1 - Customize Host Profile Settings

A host profile contains configuration that is shared amongst multiple ESXi hosts. If you need standardized host configuration across the vSphere environment, then you should create a host profile with the desire configuration and check the compliance of this host profile with the ESXi host. If required, you can remediate the hosts.
