A vVol-based VM or virtual disk may become noncompliant with its vCenter storage policy when a storage policy is changed, when an array administrator reconfigures volumes, or when the state of an array changes.
For example, if an array administrator changes the replication interval for a protection group that corresponds to a vCenter storage policy, the VMs and virtual disks to which the policy is assigned are no longer compliant.
To determine whether a VM or virtual disk is compliant with its assigned policy, either select the policy and display the objects assigned to it , or validate VMs and virtual disks for compliance with a given policy.
From the Web Client home page, click the VM Storage Policies icon to view the vCenter’s list of storage policies. Select a policy, click the Monitor tab, and click the VMs and Virtual Disks button to display a list of the VMs and virtual disks to which the policy is assigned.

Each policy’s status is either:
Compliant
The VM or virtual disk is configured in compliance with the policy.
Noncompliant
The VM or virtual disk is not configured according to the policy.
Out-of-date
The policy has been changed but has not been re-applied. The VM or virtual disk may still be compliant, but the policy must be re-applied to determine that.
