View Planner 3.0 Create the Client Template Virtual Machine-- calls for VM version 9 for benchmark mode, only 4, 7, & 8 available

Under the "Create the Client Template Virtual Machine" section on p. 87 of ViewPlannerInstallationAndUsersGuide-20130717.pdf, in creating the GoldenClient VM, the following step:

6 When you are asked for a Virtual Machine Version:

    a   For benchmark mode, select virtual hardware version 9, then click Next.

    b   For flexibility mode, select virtual hardware version 7, 8, or 9 (but make sure the version you select is supported by all the ESX/ESXi hosts in your environment), then click Next.

Per screenshot attached, only VM ver. 4, 7, & 8 allowed.  Running ESXi 5.1.0, build 1117900, using vSphere 5.1 client to create the new VM.

So is the procedure incorrect, or can I use version 8, or do I need to do something to get V. 9?
