While working on creating “Host Profile” by referencing
existing VMware ESXi host, I got the following error message.
Error
A general system error occurred

ProfileManager"on vCenter Server.....

Resolution
I managed to resolve issue by starting “CIM Server” in
security profile and “CIM Secure Server” and “CIM Server” in ESXi host Firewall settings.
1 - Select ESXi host which you are referencing to create host profile from. In right pane of the ESXI host, navigate to “Security Profile”- Services – properties and start “CIM Server” as per following screenshot
