Create a New Image Profile

The following steps show how to create a custom image profile either by manually selecting the individual VIB
components or by cloning an existing image profile.
Each image profile must meet the following requirements:
• The image profile must have a unique name.
• The image profile must contain at least one base ESXi VIB and one bootable kernel module.
• The acceptance level for each VIB must match the acceptance level defined for the profile.
• A VIB can only exist once in an image profile.
• All VIB dependencies must be met.
