To configure vSAN on Edge Cluster, follow these steps.

For detailed configuration steps, see Administering VMware vSAN.

Procedure

  1. Enable vSAN for the cluster TCP_EDGE_CLUSTER.
  2. To create the vSAN disk group, select all the magnetic disks and flash drives of each ESXi host, and add them to the vSAN cluster.
  3. Name the vSAN datastore TCP_EDGE_VSAN_DS.
  4. Verify that the hosts can see TCP_EDGE_VSAN_DS.

What to do next

After configuring vSAN, do the following tasks:

  1. Verify that ESXi_EDGE_01 through ESXi_EDGE_03 are participated in configuring vSAN datastore creation and consumed hard disks from each ESXi host.

  2. Verify that the vSAN datastore TCP_EDGE_VSAN_DS is visible to all three hosts in the cluster.

  3. Create a test VM on the vSAN datastore.

  4. Run the vSAN Skyline health check to verify that vSAN is configured properly.

    Note:

    If you find any errors during the verification, ensure that the errors are fixed before you proceed with the next steps.

  5. Delete the test VM on the vSAN datastore.
