Why each option
To clone an ESXi 6.x host's configuration while specifically excluding storage settings, an administrator should modify the Host Profile to remove the storage-related sub-profile.
While unchecking individual settings within a profile is possible, "removing" the entire storage sub-profile is a more definitive action to ensure those settings are permanently excluded from the profile's definition for cloning.
To prevent cloning storage-specific settings with a Host Profile, an administrator must edit the profile and explicitly remove or deselect the storage configuration sub-profile from its definition. This action ensures that storage configurations are not included when the profile is applied to other hosts.
Reverting a profile means discarding recent changes made to the profile itself, not selectively modifying its content to exclude specific settings.
Disabling a VM Storage Profile is related to virtual machine storage policy-based management (SPBM) and does not affect excluding host-level storage configurations from a Host Profile.
