The vCenter Server must configure the vSAN Datastore name to a unique name.

An XCCDF Rule

<VulnDiscussion>A vSAN Datastore name by default is "vsanDatastore". If more than one vSAN cluster is present in vCenter, both datastores will have the same name by default, potentially leading to confusion and manually misplaced workloads.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

If($(Get-Cluster | where {$_.VsanEnabled} | Measure).Count -gt 0){
Write-Host "vSAN Enabled Cluster found"
$Clusters = Get-Cluster | where {$_.VsanEnabled} 
Foreach ($clus in $clusters){
 $clus | Get-Datastore | where {$_.type -match "vsan"} | Set-Datastore -Name $(($clus.name) + "_vSAN_Datastore")
}

Write-Host "vSAN is not enabled, this finding is not applicable"
