Cause
The following reasons might prevent you from enabling Storage I/O Control on a datastore.
n
At least one host that is connected to the datastore is not running ESX/ESXi 4.1 or later.
n
You do not have the appropriate license to enable Storage I/O Control.
Solution
n
Verify that the hosts connected to the datastore are ESX/ESXi 4.1 or later.
n
Verify that you have the appropriate license to enable Storage I/O Control.
