VM admin spends hours/days building THE PERFECT Virtual Machine.

It is so good, 20 people want it

Build 20 new versions Clone it…

So why do we do that to hardware when we talk about a new host? Network connectivity, BIOS, WWPN, MAC, Turn off USB, enable VT etc…

Uhm…..

UCS Service Profiles are like a hypervisor to hardware Strip all state from the physical blades
