I am working on a prject to migrate ESX Hosts to a new vCenter 7 environment. As part of this migration we need to change the DNS parameters of the hosts including DNS server, DNS domain and DNS suffix search list.
I though I would use a host profile to apply this setting to the hosts after they were migrated.
From a host that had already been migrated and DNS configuration updated I exported to a new host profile.
The problem comes when I try to edit the profile to exclude all sections but the DNS configuration from the profile. When I try to save the host profile I get the message "Warning: New values caused validation errors. Original values have been preservered" and all of the sections have been enabled again.
I clicked on the "Edit with failed values" and the options with an error is for the distributed switch settings which is part of one of the sections I want to exclude.
Is there any way around this issue?
Regards
