You must verify some important requirements of the VVol dashboard to display dynamic details of the virtual volume (VVol) datastores and virtual machines.

The following table presents an overview of what you should verify if the VVol dashboard does not display the performance metrics for the provisioned VVol datastores and virtual machines.
