Move an Image Profile to a Different Software Depot

You can move image profiles between custom depots by using the vSphere Client. After you relocate an image profile, you can modify it without affecting the source depot's configuration.

Prerequisites

• Verify that the vSphere ESXi Image Builder service is enabled and running. See Configure the vSphere ESXi Image Builder in the vSphere Web Client.
• Add or import a software depot to the vSphere ESXi Image Builder inventory. See Add a Software Depot and Import a Software Depot.
• Verify that there is at least one custom depot in the vSphere ESXi Image Builder inventory.

Procedure

1. Navigate to Home > Auto Deploy.
   By default, only the administrator role has privileges to use the vSphere ESXi Image Builder service.
2. On the Software Depots tab, use the drop-down menu to select the software depot that contains the image profile that you want to work with.
3. On the Image Profiles tab, select an image profile and click Move to.
4. From the drop-down menu, select the custom depot in which you want to move the image profile.
5. Click OK.

Results

The image profile is in the new software depot.
