An administrator has a large boot from SAN cluster and wants to ensure consistent configuration by using host
profiles.What special considerations are required for boot from SAN hosts?
A.
Change the “Device is shared clusterwide” setting to “false” in the host profile.
B.
Verify that the boot LUN is correctly identified as the boot device in the host profile.
C.
The boot from SAN device must report as a local device.
D.
Host profiles are incompatible with boot from SAN hosts.

‘For SAN boot LUN devices shared across the cluster but logically local to the host, disable the Is Shared Clusterwide on the reference host. You must set the value to False before extracting the host profile from the reference host’

B is correct.
“Is shared clusterwide” is disabled on the reference host not in the host profile as mentioned in Option A.
When applying the host profile to the target host, the boot device settings for the remote boot LUN device are copied from the reference host into the target host. Select Storage configuration > Pluggable Storage Architecture configuration > Host boot device configuration and verify that this LUN is correctly captured.

For SAN boot LUN devices shared across the cluster but logically local to the host, disable the Is Shared Clusterwide on the reference host. You must set the value to False before extracting the host profile from the reference host.

pdf doc for 6.5:
Do not disable Is Shared Clusterwide for SAN boot LUNs. In ESXi 6.0, SAN boot LUN devices are
handled as expected. If Is Shared Clusterwide is disabled for these devices, then compliance errors
caused by SAN boot LUN devices in previous releases do not occur, but the device configuration is not
applied to the other hosts in the cluster. Select Storage conęguration > Pluggable Storage Architecture
conęguration > Host boot device conęguration and verify that this LUN is correctly captured.
