Issue :

VMs in vCloud Director displays the message : “System alert – This VM has a compliance failure against its Storage Policy.”

Symptoms :

After changing the storage profile of the VM you may observe the following error in ‘Status‘.

“System alerts – This VM has a compliance failure against its Storage Policy.”

Virtual Machine <VMName>(UUID) is NOT_COMPLIANT against Storage Policy <SP Name> as of 6/18/16 11:04 AM
Failures are:
The disk [0:0] of VM <VMName>(UUID) is on a datastore that does not support the capabilities of the disk StorageProfile <SP Name>

Option 2:

If many VMs have the same alerts then its difficult to clear one by one. In that case we can use SQL statement to clear all alerts.

1. Log in to the database with Admin credentials using Microsoft SQL Management Studio.
2. Run this SQL statement to display all virtual machines with the system alert:

   #
   select * from object_condition where condition = 'vmStorageProfileComplianceFailed'
   #

   

3. Run this update statement to clear the alert in the vCD UI:

   #
   update object_condition set ignore = 1 where condition = 'vmStorageProfileComplianceFailed'
   #
