You can disassociate a storage policy that is associated with a virtual machine and its hard disk.

Prerequisites

• Verify that you are connected to a vCenter Server system.
• Verify that a virtual machine named Target-VM exists in the vCenter Server environment.
• Verify that a storage policy is associated with the Target-VM virtual machine.

Procedure

1. Get the Target-VM virtual machine and store it in the $vm variable.

   $vm = Get-VM -Name 'Target-VM'

2. Get the hard disk associated with the $vm virtual machine and store it in the $hd variable.

   $hd = Get-HardDisk -VM $vm

3. Disassociate all storage policies that are associated with the $vm virtual machine and the $hd hard disk.

   Set-SpbmEntityConfiguration $vm, $hd -StoragePolicy $null
