An administrator wants to clone the configuration of an existing ESXi 6.x host to a new group of hosts, but does not want to clone storage specific settings. Which action would accomplish this?

Unchecking a sub-profile disables its compliance checking but does not remove the settings from being applied during host profile remediation, so storage settings could still be enforced.

Removing the storage sub-profile from the host profile excludes all storage-specific configuration elements (like datastore and storage adapter settings) so they are not cloned or enforced when the profile is applied to new hosts, leaving storage configuration independent on each target host.

Reverting a profile restores the profile to a previously saved state, which does not selectively exclude storage sub-profiles from cloning.

VM Storage Profiles (now Storage Policies) govern VM placement based on datastore capabilities and are unrelated to the host configuration cloning process within Host Profiles.
