vCO attach/apply host profile with params

[dacoulter]

Does anyone have experience attaching/applying an existing host profile to an ESX host using vCO?  Unfortunately there's no built-in actions or workflows, at least in vCO 4.1 (not running 4.1 U1 yet).  I'm new to this and need some help getting started - an example would be nice.

Here's how I'm applying the profile with params via PowerShell:

# Get the host profile variables for Hostname, VMK0 and VMK1 and assign them values
$additionalConfiguration = Apply-VMHostProfile -ApplyOnly -Profile $HostProfileObject -Entity $ESXHostObject -Confirm:$false
$additionalConfiguration["network.hostPortGroup[`"key-vim-profile-host-HostPortgroupProfile-$sVMK0Name`"].ipConfig.IpAddressPolicy.address"] = $sVMK0IP
$additionalConfiguration["network.hostPortGroup[`"key-vim-profile-host-HostPortgroupProfile-$sVMK0Name`"].ipConfig.IpAddressPolicy.subnetmask"] = $sVMK0SubnetMask
$additionalConfiguration["network.hostPortGroup[`"key-vim-profile-host-HostPortgroupProfile-$sVMK1Name`"].ipConfig.IpAddressPolicy.address"] = $sVMK1IP
$additionalConfiguration["network.hostPortGroup[`"key-vim-profile-host-HostPortgroupProfile-$sVMK1Name`"].ipConfig.IpAddressPolicy.subnetmask"] = $sVMK1SubnetMask
$additionalConfiguration["network.dnsConfig.HostNamePolicy.hostName"] = $ESXHostName
   
# Apply the Host Profile with the provided values
Apply-VMHostProfile -Profile $HostProfileObject -Entity $ESXHostObject -Variable $additionalConfiguration -Confirm:$false

Hi,

I'm not currently aware for such.

However, since you have the powershell you could use the SSH plugin to run this powershell through it.

Hope this helps
