Attach Baseline to the ESXi Host in VMware Update Manager

In the previous post we have learned about what is baseline and how to create baseline. Once you create baseline you must attach the baseline to the host to check it’s compliance status. So in this post we will see on How you can attach baseline to the ESXi Host. You can either attach baseline to the individual ESXi host or whole cluster. So if you attach to whole cluster then you don’t have to manually attach baseline to each ESXi hosts.
