1. A method, comprising: retrieving, by a server, a plurality of policies for at least one workload group of a host computer system from a data storage device via a storage controller, wherein the server is coupled to the storage controller, wherein the storage controller is coupled to the data storage device; retrieving, by the server, a reference policy for the at least one workload group from the data storage device via the storage controller, wherein the reference policy specifies that the at least one workload group requires an active policy for certain times of a week, and wherein the reference policy specifies that the retrieved policies for the at least one workload group require a goal for the at least one workload group to achieve, and wherein the reference policy specifies that the retrieved policies for the at least one workload group require a collection of statistics information by the at least one workload group; verifying, by the server, a consistency of the policies for the at least one workload group with the reference policy by determining whether the retrieved policies for the at least one workload group specify an active policy for the certain times of the week identified by the reference policy and whether the retrieved policies for the at least one workload group contain a goal for the at least one workload group to achieve and whether the retrieved policies for the at least one workload group require a collection of statistics information by the at least one workload group; determining, by the server, an inconsistency based on the verifying; generating, by the server, a recommendation to correct the inconsistency; providing, by the server, an information to a user interface device over a network, wherein the information comprises an outcome of the consistency verification and the recommendation, wherein the outcome informs of the inconsistency.
