If I can not create Content Library, means I cannot clone VM to Library

Well that is obvious, isn't it ?

<div>
it is obvious at that point, but not sure why ESX does not allow to create Content Library in its local datastore, even after I went specifically to permissions on that Datastore and added the administrator and propagated the permissions

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
