b) Associate user-defined storage capabilities with datastores
c) Create virtual machine storage profile
d) Associate a virtual machine storage profile with the virtual machine files or virtual disks
B.
a) Create virtual machine storage profile
b) Enable virtual machine storage profiles for a host or cluster
c) Create user-defined storage capabilities with datastores
d) Associate a virtual machine storage profile with the virtual machine files or virtual disks

Working with profile-driven storage involves the following three steps:
1. Use VASA to populate system storage capabilities and/or create user-defined storage capabilities. System capabilities are automatically propagated to datastores; user-defined capabilities must be manually assigned.
2. Create VM storage profiles that define the specific features a VM requires from the underlying storage.
3. Assign a VM storage profile to a VM and then check its compliance (or
noncompliance) with the assigned VM storage profile.
