2 Node + Witness start?

Cyon28 — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 15:48:48 GMT

Good day

I got 3 new servers, 2 for the Node and 1 for the witness.

I am really lost. Where do I start? None of the datastores is set up as it is for vSan's.

Please, can someone help me?

Thank you

Barry

There's a pile of documentation to be found on:

https://core.vmware.com/vsan
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSAN/index.html

I would suggest starting with that, as vSAN is specific in terms of your configuration in terms of hardware, I would also suggest triple checking if you have supported disk controllers, flash for cache, and flash/hdd for capacity in each host.

Start from here probably :

VMware Compatibility Guide - vsan

Check if your server is compatible with VSAN (HBA or controller card) (RAID mode or Pass-through).

Then review documentation provided by @depping .
