Hello,
I have a newly created HA (5.5) cluster using vSAN as a single datastore. HA cluster is configured with das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore, but when I select vSAN datastore as preferred heartbeat datastore, I get the following error:
The setting of userHeartbeatDs is invalid for cluster ClusterName
Google could not locate a single post/page mentioning this error.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Maybe this explains it.
From VSAN Part 9 - Host Failure Scenarios & vSphere HA Interop | CormacHogan.com
Another noticeable difference with vSphere HA on VSAN is that the VSAN datastore cannot be used for datastore heartbeats. ...
I assume this is due to the local VMFS-L version used with VSAN which doesn't use the same locking mechanism like a default VMFS datastore.

Hi,
I believe you can use VSAN with HA only if you have the following :
3 ESXi hosts in the cluster and all running 5.5 (which you've stated 5.5).
Have a look here vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center
I've been there, but no luck.
Maybe this explains it.

I guess there is no reason to look any further for the solution. Thanks!
