Fix Recommendation

From the vSphere Client, go to Host and Clusters.

Select a vSAN Enabled Cluster >> Datastores.

Right-click on the datastore named "vsanDatastore" and select "Rename".

Rename the datastore based on site-specific naming standards.

Click "OK".

or

From a PowerCLI command prompt while connected to the vCenter server, run the following commands:

If($(Get-Cluster | where {$_.VsanEnabled} | Measure).Count -gt 0){
Write-Host "vSAN Enabled Cluster found"
$Clusters = Get-Cluster | where {$_.VsanEnabled}
Foreach ($clus in $clusters){
$clus | Get-Datastore | where {$_.type -match "vsan"} | Set-Datastore -Name $(($clus.name) + "_vSAN_Datastore")
}
}
else{
Write-Host "vSAN is not enabled, this finding is not applicable."
}

If no clusters are enabled for vSAN, this is not applicable.

From the vSphere Client, go to Host and Clusters.

Select a vSAN Enabled Cluster >> Datastores.

Review the datastores and identify any datastores with "vSAN" as the datastore type.
