Reassign Shared Witness Host for Two-Node Clusters

You can quickly reassign a new shared witness host for two-node vSAN clusters.

When you configure a two-node cluster, you can select a witness host. The witness host can be shared by up to 64 two-node clusters. You also can reassign the cluster to a different shared witness host.

Procedure

1. Right-click a two-node vSAN cluster in the vSphere Client navigator.
2. Select menu vSAN > Assign Shared Witness.
3. On the Reassign to another witness host dialog box, select a witness host from the drop-down menu.
4. (optional) Click Validate Cluster Compatibility.
5. Claim disks for the new witness host.
   If the witness host is already assigned to one or more two-node clusters, this page does not appear.
6. Review the configuration and click Finish.

Results

The two-node cluster is reassigned to use the selected witness host.
