Answer File Field and Host Proﬁle Extraction

There are changes in the host profiles policy options and host customization values, when a new profile is

extracted from a host (or post upgrade). You can get more familiar with those changes by referring to the

Answer File Field and Host Profile Extraction table.

After you extract a new host profile from an ESXi host, the values for some of the policy options change.

To keep these values, you have to save them manually before extracting the host profile. The Answer File

select Edit Host Customizations.
