Detach Entities from a Host Profile
To disassociate a configuration from an ESXi host or an entire cluster, that host or cluster must be
detached from the host profile.
When a host profile is attached to a cluster, the host or hosts within that cluster are also attached to the
host profile. However, when the host profile is detached from the entire cluster, there is no association
between the host or hosts within the cluster and that host profile.
Detaching a host profile from an ESXi host or a cluster does not delete that host profile. You can delete
the host profile after detaching it from all the entities it is associated with.
Procedure
1 From the Host Profiles main view, select the host profile to be detached from the entire cluster or
individual hosts.
2
Click the Attach/Detach a host profile to hosts and clusters icon ( ).
3 Select a host or a cluster from the expanded list in the right pane and click Detach.
The host or cluster is moved to the left pane list.
4 (Optional) Click Detach All to detach all listed hosts and clusters from the profile.
5 Click Next.
6 Click Finish to detach the host or cluster from the host profile.
Check Compliance
You can confirm the compliance of a host or cluster to its attached Host Profile and determine which, if
any, configuration parameters on a host are different from those specified in the Host Profile.
Procedure
1 Navigate to a host profile.
2 Click the Check Host Profile Compliance icon ( ).
In the Objects tab, the compliance status is updated as Compliant, Unknown, or Non-compliant.
