Set the Host Image Profile Acceptance Level

The Host Image Profile acceptance level determines which vSphere installation bundles (VIBs) are accepted for installation.

VIB signatures are checked and accepted for installation based on a combination of the VIB acceptance level and the host image profile acceptance level. VIBs are tagged with an acceptance level that depends on their signature status.

See Acceptance Levels.
