Configure vSAN on Edge Cluster

Enable vSAN on the Edge cluster and create a datastore to use as a shared storage.

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.

What to do next

After configuring vSAN, do the following tasks:

1. Verify that all ESXi hosts participated in the vSAN datastore creation and the vSAN datastore 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. Verify that vSAN is configured properly.

   Note:

   Run the vSAN Skyline health check in the vCenter UI (vSphere Cluster > Monitor > vSAN > SkylineHealth. 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.
