# com.vmware.vc.sdrs.StorageDrsNotSupportedHostConnectedToPodEvent

## Summary

Datastore cluster is connected to one or more hosts that do not support storage DRS.

## Causes

The datastore is connected to ESX/ESXi 4.1 or earlier hosts. According to VMware limitations, ESX/ESXi 4.1 and earlier hosts do not support storage DRS.

The datastore is connected to a host that is not running Storage I/O Control.

## Resolution

Ensure that all hosts associated with the datastore cluster are ESXi 5.0 or later.

Ensure that all hosts associated with the datastore cluster have Storage I/O Control enabled.
