Versions

0.1 Initial release

Note: This code assumes the target is a vCenter and the cluster has vSAN enabled. It was tested against vSphere 6.7U3 environments but may have issues with older versions because the code assumes a 6.7U3 API and this API has few properties and methods not found in earlier versions. We will handle these cases in later releases.

• Storage capacity and disk utilization
• Cluster and host health
• Storage controller HCL status

0.2

• vSAN object health and compliance
