![]() ![]() Hosts with previous versions of vSAN do not expose this option.Īfter providing a to be created Datacenter name and Cluster name disk group(s) for the host can be created. ![]() This option only appears when the installer is connected to a vSAN 6.6 host. The image above, is from the VCSA installer that has selected an ESXi that has no configured, and is not participating in vSAN. ( ) Wouldn’t it just be easier if the VCSA installer could do this?Īs part of the VCSA installer, vSAN can now be selected as a datastore for deployment, as well as providing the ability for the initial configuration of that datastore. William Lam has another good post on how to use this method: Not quite as many moving parts, does require cli access to ESXi and specific steps. This is not very difficult, but does require some default storage policy manipulation. ( ) Manually Creating a vSAN configurationįor those that are more comfortable with the ESXi command line, can manually create a vSAN cluster. William Lam has a blog post on the steps to use this method: There are a lot of moving parts that aren’t necessarily difficult, but definitely time consuming. VMkernel ports have to be created for each host for vSAN communicationĪfter steps 1-4 have have been completed, the vSAN Configuration Wizard can be used to enable vSAN. These tasks are typically accomplished using the Web Client as part of vCenter, but if the vSAN datastore isn’t available, how can vCenter be deployed to it? Using a Temporary Datastoreīy creating a temporary datastore, the VCSA installer could deploy the VCSA there, and once everything was configured, the VCSA could be SvMotioned to the vSAN datastore, the temporary datastore could be removed, and those disks could be claimed for vSAN.To get vSAN up and running the following tasks have to be performed: At least that’s how we configure it via the vSphere Web Client. To create a cluster, a datacenter must first be present, and that must be part of a vCenter instance. VSAN is part of a cluster configuration in vSphere. If vSAN is configured by vCenter, how do you deploy vCenter on top of vSAN? Sounds a bit like a chicken and egg scenario, huh? ![]()
