Hi all,
I'm running vCenter Server 5.1 Update 1 w/ ESXi 5.1U1 hosts, and I've started playing around a little bit with the storage profile capabilities. The SAN backing my VM storage is a VNX 5300 running OE version 05.32.000.5.015.
My datastores in vCenter are getting system defined capabilities assigned to it from the VNX (good). I'm also applying user-defined capabilities to those datastores.
However, when I create a storage profile that has both a system defined as well as a user-defined capability, and then apply that profile to virtual machine, it appears that the user-defined capability is being ignored when compliance is checked. The only way that I can get the user-defined capabilities to have any bearing on compliance is to remove any system-defined capabilities from the storage profile.
Can anyone else confirm this behaviour? Is it limited only to VNX systems? Is this working as designed or is this a bug?
