i am trying to understand the usefulness of profile ( or policy) driven storage. In our situation we use vsphere 5, and we have virtual machines, whereby the OS is installed on hard disk 1, page file on harddisk 2 and data on hard disk 3, 4 , 5 etc and so on. We have a separate datastores for the OS of the VM's, page files and data. Thats how we try to setup our VM's. Occasionally this gets missed out whereby the OS and page file disk end up on the same datastores like the OS datastore. So could we use profile driven storage to make sure hard disk 1 (OS) is on certain datastores and hard disk 2 (page file) is on certain datastores and hard disk 3, 4 (data) etc are on rest of the other datastores. If they are not then you get a noncompliant alert appear on the summary of the VM.
Can profile driven storage be used in this way, or is there another method of doing this of making sure
