Enable a vSAN File Service

With PowerCLI, you can enable a vSAN file service.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are connected to a vCenter Server system.

Add a vSAN file service OVF to the OVF repository of the vCenter Server system.
```
Add-VsanFileServiceOvf
```
Verify that the vSAN file service OVF is successfully added.
```
Get-VsanFileServiceOvfInfo
```
Increase the PowerCLI timeout for the current session, so that the operation does not stop.
```
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -WebOperationTimeoutSeconds 3600 -Scope Session
```
Retrieve the network that you want to use for the vSAN file service.
```
$net = Get-VirtualNetwork -Name ‘MyNetwork’
```

Modify the vSAN cluster configuration that you want to use to enable the vSAN file service.

$config = Get-VsanClusterConfiguration
Set-VsanClusterConfiguration $config -FileServiceEnabled $true -FileServiceNetwork $net
