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

For the detailed configuration steps, see Administering VMware vSAN.

Procedure

  1. In the Compute cluster TCP_COMP_CLUSTER settings, enable vSAN.
  2. Create the vSAN disk group by selecting all the magnetic disks and flash drives of each ESXi host and adding them to the vSAN cluster.
  3. Name the vSAN datastore TCP_COMP_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_COMP_VSAN_DS is visible to all four 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.
