2 Use a pipeline to pass the image profile you intend to edit to format-list to see detailed
information.
In this example, the image profile created in Create New Image Profiles Workflow contains
only the base image. A newly created image profile is not included in the depot. Instead, you
access the image profile by name or by binding it to a variable.
Get-EsxImageProfile "Test #2" | format-list
PowerShell returns the information.
Name : Test #2
Vendor : Vendor42
...
VibList : {esx-base 5.0.0.-...,}
3 (Optional) If you are adding a VIB with a lower acceptance level than that of the image profile,
change the acceptance level of the image profile.
Set-EsxImageProfile -ImageProfile "Test #2" -AcceptanceLevel VMwareAccepted
PowerShell returns the information about the changed profile in tabular format.
Name Vendor Last Modified Acceptance Level
---- ------ ------------- ----------------
Test #2 Vendor42 9/22/2010 12:05:... VMwareAccepted
4 Add a software package (VIB) to the image profile. You can add the package by name.
Add-EsxSoftwarePackage -ImageProfile "Test #2"
-SoftwarePackage NewPack3
PowerShell returns the information about the image profile in tabular format.
Name Vendor Last Modified Acceptance Level
---- ------ ------------- ----------------
Test #2 Vendor42 9/22/2010 12:05:... VMwareAccepted
Note If an error occurs when you add the software package, you might have a problem with
acceptance levels, see Working with Acceptance Levels
