or
There are no hosts available in the inventory at the version for the selected Host Profile
Cause
vSphere 6.5 supports only hosts and host profiles with version 5.5 and later.
Solution
n
Extract a Host Profile from an already upgraded host to version 5.5. or later.
n
Use the Copy Settings from Host option to copy the configuration settings from a host already
upgraded to a version 5.5. or later.
Note Using the Copy Settings from Host option overwrites the settings within the existing Host
Profile or sets them to the default values.
Host Profile without NFS Datastore
Host profile compliance check fails for NFS datastore.
Problem
When you confirm the compliance of your ESXi host to its attached Host Profile, a non-compliant status is
present for the NFS datastore. The compliance check detects the mounted NFS datastore to the ESXi
host as an additional datastore.
Cause
The remediate or compliance check failure occurs when the following two conditions take place:
n
The extracted Host Profile does not have NFS storage (NasStorageProfile).
n
The ESXi host, attached to the Host Profile, has an already mounted NFS storage.
Solution
1 Create a dummy NFS datastore in the Host Profile.
2 Disable the dummy NFS datastore so that the NFS storage profile is fully disabled.
