      <title>Vsan Configuration</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-vSAN-Discussions/Vsan-Configuration/m-p/2895793#M14026</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi I have two Vsan hosts configured with two vsan enabled VMkernel ports and the two hosts are on the HCL. Assuming the correct licensing is correctly applied when I go to try and configure vSAN on the cluster it shows a blink space under services such as below.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just wondering why the vsan service is not visible when I start the configuration wizard&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks in advance&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Because vSAN needs 3 or more Nodes.&amp;nbsp; Do you have already setup and added the witness Node to the vCenter?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;BR /&gt;Joerg&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Without a separate Shared Witness Appliance to run a 2-node vSAN cluster, you must have 3 or more nodes.&amp;nbsp; Now with that, you should still see something under services regardless because for all it knows, you may be configuring a Stretched vSAN cluster.&amp;nbsp; If you have the correct licensing added under vSAN, then I would try a restart of vCenter to make sure a process isn't hung up.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for that I did try adding a witness and restarted the vcenter appliance and still nothing appeared under service&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;really weird&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks Bobkin&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I checked that and the vcenter is running the same version&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you the problem was down to a certificate issue in the vcenter appliance&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I logged a call with GSS and they ran a python script which fixed the issue after which the qui options re-appeared&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks again for all your advice&lt;/P&gt;</description>
