No warning for Callhome possible for vHMC products it self

vHMC version 8.8.4 and 8.8.5

Customer uses the callhome wizard in the vHMC (Virtual HMC) when installing this product.
At the end of the wizard, he gets a possibility to run a test event.

This event hangs for ever, as this vHMC is not allowed to do a callhome.
But this information is unknown for a customer when installing this product!

Better is to have a warning when customer wants to do event callhome test with this vHMC it self as a problem server.

Warning should contain that it is only supported by the Managed Systems (power servers) to do a callhome!
