that's not true... host profile supports all iscsi adapter types.
You should be able to right click under storage host profile and add sw iscsi, if you have not enabled it before creating host profile. Other type, indpendent or dependent hw iscsi adapters, should show up w/o this trick.
After that, you should be able to add discovery address, static targets, etc.
The recommended sequence would be config. iscsi adapter, create vmfs on it, and make sure storage is seen before creating host profile on refernce host.
Not sure how you find out it's not supported.
