Verify that the network infrastructure and the networking configuration on the ESXi hosts meet the minimum networking requirements for Virtual SAN.
Networking Component |
Requirement |
---|---|
Host Bandwidth |
Each host must have minimum bandwidth dedicated to Virtual SAN.
For information about networking considerations in Virtual SAN, see Designing the Virtual SAN Network. |
Connection between hosts |
Each host in the Virtual SAN cluster, regardless of whether it contributes capacity, must have a VMkernel network adapter for Virtual SAN traffic. See Set Up a VMkernel Network for Virtual SAN. |
Host network |
All hosts in your Virtual SAN cluster must be connected to a Virtual SAN Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. |
Multicast |
Multicast must be enabled on the physical switches and routers that handle Virtual SAN traffic along the Layer 2 path and (optionally) the Layer 3 path. |
IPv4 and IPv6 support |
The Virtual SAN network supports both IPv4 and IPv6. |
