Create a Virtual Machine in a Datastore Compatible with Storage Policy

You can retrieve a datastore compatible with storage policy and create a virtual machine in the datastore.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are connected to a vCenter Server system.
Verify that a tag-based storage policy named Tag-Policy exists in the vCenter Server environment.
Verify that the tag of the Tag-Policy storage policy is associated with one of the available datastores in the vCenter Server environment.

Procedure

Get the tag-based Tag-Policy storage policy and store it in the $policy variable.
```
$policy = Get-SpbmStoragePolicy -Name 'Tag-Policy'
```
Get the tag used in the Tag-Policy storage policy and store it in the $tag variable.
```
$tag = ($($($policy.AnyOfRulesets).AllOfRules).AnyOfTags)[0]
```
Get a datastore compatible with the $policy storage policy and store it in the $ds variable.
```
$ds = Get-SpbmCompatibleStorage -StoragePolicy $policy
```
Get the virtual machine host that contains the $ds datastore and store it in the $vmhost variable.
```
$vmHost = Get-VMHost -Datastore $ds
```
Create a virtual machine named VM-Tag in the $ds datastore and store the virtual machine object in the $vm variable.
```
$vm = New-VM -Name 'VM-Tag' -ResourcePool $vmHost -Datastore $ds -NumCPU 2 -MemoryGB 4 -DiskMB 1
```
Associate the $policy storage policy with the $vm virtual machine.
```
Set-SpbmEntityConfiguration $vm -StoragePolicy $policy
```
Verify that the $vm virtual machine is compliant with the $policy storage policy.
```
Get-SpbmEntityConfiguration $vm
```
The status should be Compliant.
Get the Tag-Assignment object for the $ds datastore and store it in the $tagAs variable.
```
$tagAs = Get-TagAssignment -Entity $ds
```
Remove the $tag tag association from the $ds datastore.
```
Remove-TagAssignment -TagAssignment $tagAs
```
Check the compliance of the $vm virtual machine with the $policy storage policy.
```
Get-SpbmEntityConfiguration $vm
```
The status should be NonCompliant.
