Monitor <strong>Storage</strong> Compliance for Virtual Machines in the <strong>vSphere</strong> Web Client<br />
When you associate a virtual machine storage profile with virtual machines and virtual disks, and select the<br />
datastores on which virtual machines and virtual disks run, you can check whether virtual machines and virtual<br />
disks use datastores that are compliant with their virtual machine storage profile.<br />
If you check the compliance of a virtual machine whose host or cluster has virtual machine storage profiles<br />
disabled, the result of the check will be Non-compliant because the feature is disabled.<br />
Prerequisites<br />
To perform a compliance check for a virtual machine storage profile, you must associate the virtual machine<br />
storage profile with at least one virtual machine or virtual disk.<br />
Procedure<br />
1 From the <strong>vSphere</strong> Web Client Home, click Rules and Profiles > VM <strong>Storage</strong> Profiles.<br />
2 In the VM <strong>Storage</strong> Profiles view, double-click an existing virtual machine storage profile.<br />
3 Click the Monitor tab and click Check Compliance Now.<br />
The Compliance Status column shows whether the virtual machine files or the virtual disks use datastores<br />
that are compliant or noncompliant with the selected virtual machine storage profile.<br />
Compliance Status Description<br />
Compliant The datastore that the virtual machine or virtual disk uses has the storage capabilities that are<br />
required by the virtual machine storage profile.<br />
Non-compliant The datastore that the virtual machine or virtual disk uses does not have the storage capabilities<br />
that are required by the virtual machine storage profile. You can migrate the virtual machine<br />
files and virtual disks to compliant datastores.<br />
Check <strong>Storage</strong> Compliance for a Virtual Machine<br />
You can check whether a virtual machine uses storage that is compliant with all virtual machine storage profiles<br />
that are associated with it.<br />
Prerequisites<br />
Before you check the profile compliance for a single virtual machine, ensure that the virtual machine has a<br />
virtual machine storage profile associated with it.<br />
Procedure<br />
1 From the <strong>vSphere</strong> Client inventory, right-click a virtual machine and select VM <strong>Storage</strong> Profile > Check<br />
Profiles Compliance.<br />
2 Select the Summary tab.<br />
3 View the compliance in the VM <strong>Storage</strong> Profiles pane beside the Profiles Compliance text box.<br />
The Profiles Compliance text box in the VM <strong>Storage</strong> Profiles pane shows whether the virtual machine files or<br />
its virtual disks comply with their associated virtual machine storage profile.<br />
Compliance Status Description<br />
Chapter 24 Virtual Machine <strong>Storage</strong> Profiles<br />
Compliant The datastores used by the virtual machine files or the virtual disks have the storage capabilities that<br />
are required by the respective virtual machine storage profile.<br />
Non-compliant The datastores used by the virtual machine or the virtual disks do not have the storage capabilities<br />
that are required by the respective virtual machine storage profile. You can migrate the virtual<br />
machine files and its virtual disks to a compliant datastore.<br />
