Why is the administrator unable to save the completed profile?

A.
The administrator does not have the proper vSphere edition so this feature is not licensed

B.
The Host Profiles service is stopped and must be restarted to access this option

C.
No ESXi hosts have been added to vCenter Server, and this option will not be available until at
least one host is managed

D.
No DRS/HA Cluster has been defined, and Host Profiles must be applied to a cluster.

As of 1/6/2014, this shows answer C (No ESXi hosts have been added to vCenter Server, and this option will not be available until at
least one host is managed), however the correct answer is A (The administrator does not have the proper vSphere edition so this feature is not licensed)

A licensing only reason it wouldn’t work

As a licensed feature of vSphere, Host Profiles are only available when the appropriate licensing is in place. If you see errors, ensure that you have the appropriate vSphere licensing for your hosts.

So it should be A.
