Description
VSAN Datastore name by default is "vsanDatastore". If more than one VSAN cluster is present in vCenter both datastores will have the same name by default potentially leading to confusion and manually misplaced workloads.

If no clusters are enabled for VSAN, this is not applicable. From the vSphere Web Client go to Host and Clusters >> Select a Cluster >> Related Objects >> Datastores. Review the datastores. Identify any datastores with "vsan" as the datastore type. or From a PowerCLI command prompt while connected to the vCenter server run the following command: If($(Get-Cluster \| where {$_.VsanEnabled} \| Measure).Count -gt 0){ Write-Host "VSAN Enabled Cluster found" Get-Cluster \| where {$_.VsanEnabled} \| Get-Datastore \| where {$_.type -match "vsan"} } else{ Write-Host "VSAN is not enabled, this finding is not applicable" } If VSAN is Enabled and the datastore is named "vsanDatastore" this is a finding.
