Explanation

When deploying a VM from a stored Prism image to a vSphere-based cluster, the virtual hardware version embedded in the image must match or be compatible with the ESXi host version running on that cluster. If the image was created on a different vSphere version, the virtual hardware level (e.g., vmx-13 vs vmx-15) may be incompatible, causing deployment to fail. This is the most common reason for failure in this scenario. The Image Service itself can reference images for vSphere clusters, but the hardware compatibility between the image and the target ESXi version is a frequent blocker.
