Using vSAN Configuration Assist and Updates

You can use Configuration Assist to check the configuration of your vSAN cluster, and resolve any issues.

vSAN Configuration Assist enables you to verify the configuration of cluster components, resolve issues, and troubleshoot problems. The configuration checks cover hardware compatibility, network, and vSAN configuration options.

Note: In vSAN 6.7, Configuration Assist and Updates are available only in the vSphere Web Client.

The Configuration Assist checks are divided into categories. Each category contains individual configuration checks.

Table 1. Configuration Assist Categories

Configuration Category	Description
Hardware compatibility	Checks the hardware components for the vSAN cluster, to ensure that they are using supported hardware, software, and drivers.
vSAN configuration	Checks vSAN configuration options.
Generic cluster	Checks basic cluster configuration options.
Network configuration	Checks vSAN network configuration.

If storage controller firmware or drivers do not meet the requirements listed in the VMware Compatibility Guide, you can use the Updates page to update the controllers.
