VMware vMA: has no associated network protocol profile

Powering on a newly deployed vMA 5.5 from OVF prompted me with the following:

By default, the vMA is expecting a predefined set of IP address ranges (IP Pools).  IP Pools are network configurations that is assigned to a network used by a vAPP.  The VM can then use vCenter to acquire an IP. 

If IP Pools are not used in your environment, disable vAPP from the VM properties to successfully power on your vMA.
