Importing Host Profiles

Exported .vpf files can be imported as Host Profile objects using the Import Host Profile wizard. For instance, if you were to build a new data center in your environment which will be managed by a new vCenter, and if the hosts in the new data center should be configured identically to an existing data center host, then a Host Profile from the existing data center can be exported and then imported into the new vCenter so that it can be applied to the new hosts.
