VMware vSphere Health Check

VMware vSphere Health Check is a tool only for VMware's partners (or VMware PSOs), but it can collect some data from a virtual environment, analyze the configuration, and provide a Word document with a lot of usable information structure in the following areas:

  • Major findings and recommendations
  • Organizational
  • Operational
  • Technical
  • Health check assessment and recommendations
  • Compute
  • Network
  • Storage
  • Data center
  • VM
  • Security
  • Virtual SAN

The technical recommendations section is the most interesting because it tries to check the existing configuration according to with VMware best practices and classify all the non-compliance at different priority levels, shown as follows:
