Playing with 2 node new VSAN7 lab. Confused with object placement / policy compliance.
Had few VMs set at SW=2 (4 capacity disks per host)
Policies applied just fine and immediately rebuilt VM components with extra stripes.
Now I am trying to reduce stripe width. But despite policy SW=1 the VM objects won't rebuild. Policy shows compliant yet if I view object placement I still see RAID 0 stripes. So its not compliant.
My test VMs are below 255GB. So FFT=1 + SW=1 should equal 6 total components. Yet the VMs I had set to SW=2 VMs still have 8 components w/ RAID0 present even though the VMs now assigned/compliant with a SW=1 policy.
I also tested making cache reserve 5% to trigger rebuilt. Which works and triggers rebuild back to SW=1. ( 6 components.)
Changing the policy which just differs in SW=2 to SW=1 doesn't appear to trigger rebuild.
What am I missing to reduce VM stripe width back to 1 without modifying anything other than Stripe width setting?
Thank you
