I apologize if this is not the ideal board for this discussion but at the time of writing all esxi-arm community pages return 404. I have been trying to deploy a vSAN two node cluster using two standard x86 servers (esxi 7.0) and Raspberry Pi 4 as a witness. I am running into issues deploying the witness aspect of vSAN.
After using the cluster quickstart wizard to configure vSAN, the two data nodes claim their disks and show as "reconfiguring" as expected. The datastore is created and is accessible to each host. However, the witness configuration fails with a relatively vague error.
Update, this is the exact error:
General vSAN error. (vmodl.fault.ManagedObjectNotFound) { msg = '', faultCause = <unset>, faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [], obj = 'vim.host.VsanHealthSystem:ha-vsan-health-system' }
On the rPI4, the vpxa.log gives the following messages at the time of deployment. The vSAN secret and UUID has been removed.
