There are quite a few prerequisites for FT.

I'm afraid there is no single cmdlet for that, you'll have to write a script that checks the conditions one by one.

These are the requirements:

  • No unsupported devices and incompatible features
  • VM must use  RDM or thick vdisks
  • VM must be on shared storage.
  • VM can have only 1 vCPU.
  • VM must be running a supported guest OS. See KB1008027
