VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 40

After adding a new vSphere ESXi host with identical hardware configuration to an existing vSphere cluster, which task would an administrator complete prior to checking the compliance with an existing host profile?

Answer options

• A. Attach the host profile to the new host
• B. Duplicate the host profile
• C. Copy the host setting from the new host
• D. Import the host profile

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct action is to attach the host profile to the new host, as this allows the system to evaluate the new host against the established compliance criteria. Duplicating the host profile, copying settings, or importing a profile are unnecessary steps before the compliance check and do not directly prepare the new host for compliance assessment.
