Manage a vSAN Cluster

You can activate vSAN when you create host clusters or enable vSAN on existing clusters. When enabled, vSAN aggregates all local storage disks available on the hosts into a single datastore shared by all hosts.

You can run these commands in the ESXi Shell for a host, or the command affects the target host that you specify as part of the vCLI connection options.

Procedure

1. Join the target host to a given vSAN cluster.

   esxcli vsan cluster join --cluster-uuid <uuid>

   Note: The UUID of the cluster is required.
2. Verify that the target host is joined to a vSAN cluster.

   esxcli vsan cluster get

3. Remove the target host from the vSAN cluster.

   esxcli vsan cluster leave
