Configuring Scratch on vSAN

[ArielSchivo]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to configure the scratch partition on my vSAN env. I have 4 hosts and created a /scratch/host-x on the vSAN datastore, where "x" is the number of the host. This path on SSH is "/vmfs/volumes/vsan:52ccb0ded8ff3a41-b7adf4465cf91f5c/fe25fa5f-c681-1587-df9c-000e1eb88d30/host-x". When I put the whole path on the scratch config I receive "a specified parameter was not correct" error.

Path navigation is correct, folder is empty. What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately vSAN does not support having scratch logs on the vSAN Datastore as this can result in a hung host see https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2074026 for options

It is not supported:
