Duplicating Host Profiles

An existing Host Profile can be cloned to create a duplicate of the same. This can be achieved by using the duplicate Host Profile operation. Duplicating a Host Profile will not retain the hosts that were attached to the source profile.

How to do it...

The following procedure will guide you through the steps involved in duplicating a Host Profile.

Log in to the vSphere Web Client and use the key combination Ctrl + Alt + 1 to navigate to the inventory home.
At the inventory home, click on Host Profiles and click on Duplicate Host Profile...:

On the Duplicate Host Profile wizard, supply a Name and an optional Description and click Next to continue.
On the Ready to complete screen, click Finish to initiate the clone operation.
The Recent Tasks pane should show a Create host profile task complete successfully.
