`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
This cmdlet returns the [`VBRViDatastoreCluster`](vbrvidatastorecluster.md) object that contains a list of VMware datastore clusters.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Looking for VMware Datastores Clusters Connected to Specific ESXi Host

This example shows how to look for VMware datastore clusters on the `esx05.tech.local` host.

```
$server = Get-VBRServer -Type ESXi -Name "esx05.tech.local" 
Find-VBRViDatastoreCluster -Server $server
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRServer`](get-vbrserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Type` and `Name` parameter values. Save the result to the `$server` variable.
2. Run the `Find-VBRViDatastoreCluster` cmdlet. Set the `$server` variable as the `Server` parameter value.

::: example
### Example 2. Looking for VMware Datastores Clusters Compatible with Specific Storage Policy Profiles

This example shows how to get the list of the `vol2` cluster datastores and cluster datastores which names start with `cluster0*`. These datastores are compatible with the `SP Virtual SAN Default` storage policy profile.

```
$server = Get-VBRServer -Type ESXi -Name "esx05.tech.local" 
$policy = Find-VBRViStoragePolicy -Server $server -Name "SP Virtual SAN Default"
Find-VBRViDatastoreCluster -StoragePolicy $policy -Name "vol2", "cluster0*"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRServer`](get-vbrserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Type` and `Name` parameter values. Save the result to the `$server` variable.
2. Run the [`Find-VBRViStoragePolicy`](find-vbrvistoragepolicy.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Server` and `Name` parameter values. Save the result to the `$policy` variable.
3. Run the `Find-VBRViDatastoreCluster` cmdlet. Set the `$policy` variable as the `StoragePolicy` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter value.
