Probably your disks contains partitions or other data.
Make sure your disks are absolutely empty.
Gparted or a tool like that is easy for deleting partitions.
Hi Crosdorff,
There is no data i these disks, they are empty.
Can you see the disks under your host? Manage => Storage => Storage Devices
Yes I do.
Have you claimed your disks? Cluster => Manage => Settings => Virtual San => Disk management
I'm running out of options now
Thanks Cros
I cannot claim disks from Disk management because its shows 0 disk
Do the disks appear as local to the host? You need to use esxcli to check that the is-local flag is set to true.
If they are not local, then you will have to use a claimrule to set them as local.
Hi Cormac,
Disks appear as local to each host, Kindly see the screenshot,
Can you file a Support request and share us the host logs so that we could take a look at it?
Mostly I have seen similar issues either due to disk/license/Networking for VSAN related.
Hi Visorfs,
Iam attaching vmkernel log file kindly see it,

The vmkernel logs you have pasted didnt have any vsan related info. Host logs would be more easier for us to parse through and co-relate information.
I upgrade vcenter 5.5 to 5.5u1 I guess this will not function as I read Epping comments here https://communities.vmware.com/thread/478605
Correct. It seems it is mandatory to do a fresh VC 55U1 install.
Hi Joergriether,
Regarding VSAN needs 5.5 upgrading or fresh VC 55U1 install. This morning I talked with VMware technical support and they told me, Upgrading from vCenter 5.5 to vCenter 5.5 U1 is possible and there is no needs for fresh install . So I am on square a gain.
Hi,
i don´t think so. I think as Duncan already mentioned in another post this is unfortunately not possible at this time. Check out Re: Virtual SAN Licensing
Yes, upgrading is possible from 5.5 to 5.5U1. But the upgraded 5.5U1 won´t allow VSAN to run as it should.
@Duncan: Correct? Could you jump in and clarify?
Best regards,
Joerg
I sent a support request, Looking forwards to read the answer
Here is the reply: As discussed, you would need to run vSphere 5.5 Update 1 in order to use Virtual SAN.Virtual SAN does not require a separate download because functionality is included in vSphere 5.5 Update 1. Currently there will be no upgrade/downgrade options for VSAN since this is a new product launch.
Kindly refer to the KB article below for more information :
Requirements and considerations for the deployment of VMware Virtual SAN :
http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsan/VMware_Virtual_SAN_Datasheet.pdf (Please refer to Software)
The question still remains unanswered: Is a previously from 5.5 to 5.5U1 UPGRADED vcenter server capable of using VSAN?
