Products

• VMware vSphere ESXi

Issue/Introduction

• Host Profile Compliance Check fails with error -  

Category	Setting Name	Host Value	Description
Core Storage Configuration	SharedClusterwide	False	SharedClusterWide value on host is different from profile for device eui.####

 

• The error can also occur if the Host Value is set to "True" and the value is set to "False" on the host profile. 

Environment

VMware vSphere ESXi 

Cause

The compliance check fails due to the mismatch value of the parameter "SharedClusterWide" on the host and the host profile. 

Resolution

Based on the requirement, match the value for the parameter "SharedClusterWide" on the host and the host profile. 

To enable the parameter "SharedClusterWide" - 

1. Take a SSH session to the ESXi host with root account. 
2. Run the command to identify the value of the parameter - esxcli storage core device list
