I'm trying to use host profiles to save some time provisioning multiple boxes, but even the most straightforward test case seems to create problems.
Using vSphere 6.5 vCenter and ESXi.
What I did, which seems correct:
* Configure a single host how I want it.
* Extract a profile from that host.
* Attach that profile to the cluster in which the single host sits.
* Check compliance.
* I then go to remediate. It shows "Compliant" for my host, with the green tick.
Where it gets odd:
I proceed to "Pre-check Remediation", expecting it to do nothing, but it lists a string of actions it will do including creating a new vnic, removing my mgmt vnic from the vDS, adding a new vnic using different settings (dhcp for some reason), and changing iscsi adaptor binding.
I went through with it just to see what would happen and sure enough it made these exact changes, totally screwing up my networking. I tried to apply the same profile to a new, unconfigured host and I'm not sure what it did but it certainly screwed my networking for that host.
What's going on here, am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
