Managing Proactive Hardware

vSAN Proactive Hardware Management (PHM) informs you of any dying disks based on disk predictive failure events generated by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) vendor.

Based on this information provided, you can take the necessary remediation. PHM resides within the vSAN management service on the vCenter Server. The Hardware Support Manager (HSM) is registered with the vCenter Server. PHM collects vendor hardware information from HSM and sends it to vSAN.
