Create New-ResourcePool in ESXi 6.0.0 Host

Hi,

I have an old single server ESXi host running version 6.0.0 and am trying to create a new resource pool.  Firstly, can you confirm it is possible to create resource pools on a single instance ESXi host?  If it is possible, is there a license restriction in place preventing me from doing so?

I am actually trying to do this via PowerShell and the below is the error I am getting:

PS /home/andy> New-ResourcePool -Name "autotest-6.0-res-pool" -Location esxhost1.oview.com

New-ResourcePool : 22/05/2019 14:08:40 New-ResourcePool Current license or ESXi version prohibits execution of the requested operation.

At line:1 char:1

+ New-ResourcePool -Name "autotest-6.0-res-pool" -Location esxhost1.ovi ...

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [New-ResourcePool], RestrictedVersion

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Client20_ComputeResourceServiceImpl_NewResourcePool_ViError,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.NewResourcePool

If it is possible, any indication about which license I might need would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Andy
