Through WebClient connect to vCenter, go to Network tab for esxi host, select vmkernel adapters,  and check for " TCP/ IP Stack" . Every single adapter should get a value for this raw.Select the impacted vmkernel port. Click on refresh button.

If this does not work reboot the problem host. Do it on all three host.

Run this command update here the name here

esxcli network ip netstack list

If you see a different name apart from " defaultTcpipStack" reboot the host and see if that helps

Yes we have One Dv Switch with single uplink, which is using for both mgmt and vmotion.  4 esxi host are connected to that dv switch but by using One Host only we are able to create host profile, remaining 3 are giving the same netstack error while "esxcli network ip netstack list" command output is same in all 4 hosts.

Yes, i checked that nothing was showing in TCP IP Stack in those servers so i refreshed and then Default is showing in TCP IP Stack and i created host profile successfully, Thanks Dear

But one server is giving different issue in profile creation as below, i checked logs also but in that only this below msg is coming

Error: com.vmware.profile.hostCacheConfig.EsxcliError.

Cannot complete the operation. See the event log for details.
