Unable to power on VM “vmwarePhoton64Guest’ is not supported”

I was in the process of deploying vSAN Performance Monitor  and came across an error.

The error pops up as “No host is compatible with the virtual machine”

It further describes the error as “vmwarePhoton64Guest’ is not supported”

 

The FIX:

Right Click on the vSAN Performance Monitor VM

Select Compatibility> Upgrade VM Compatibility

 

 

 

Select yes for the upgrade. Warning: This step is NOT reversible.

 

 

Finally, select the version you want the VM to be compatible with depending on the version you are currently running.
