## Output Object
This cmdlet returns the [`VBRViStoragePolicy`](vbrvistoragepolicy.md)`[]` object that contains information on VMware storage policy profiles created on a vCenter Server.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Looking for all Storage Policy Profiles

This example shows how to get a list of all storage policy profiles registered for the `tech.local` host.

```
$server = Get-VBRServer -Type ESXi -Name "tech.local" 
Find-VBRViStoragePolicy -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 `$server` variable.
2. Run the `Find-VBRViStoragePolicy` cmdlet. Set the `$server` variable as the `Server` parameter value.

::: example
### Example 2. Looking for Storage Policy Profile by its Name

This example shows how to get the `Virtual SAN Default Storage Policy` storage policy profile registered for the `tech.local` host.

```
$server = Get-VBRServer -Type ESXi -Name "tech.local" 
Find-VBRViStoragePolicy -Server $server -Name "Virtual SAN Default Storage Policy"
```

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 `$server` variable.
2. Run the `Find-VBRViStoragePolicy` cmdlet. Set the `$server` variable as the `Server` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter value.

::: example
### Example 3. Looking for Storage Policy Profile by its ID

This example shows how to get the `4da512dc-dee7-465b-a507-72d44a9ba752` storage policy profile registered for the `tech.local` host.

```
$server = Get-VBRServer -Type ESXi -Name "tech.local" 
Find-VBRViStoragePolicy -Server $server -Id "4da512dc-dee7-465b-a507-72d44a9ba752"
```

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 `$server` variable.
2. Run the `Find-VBRViStoragePolicy` cmdlet. Set the `$server` variable as the `Server` parameter value. Specify the `Id` parameter value.
