Vsan evaluation?

[Fleischen]

Hi

I currently have a six node san cluster and a vcenter server and I would like to evaluate vsan. My plan is to create a new vsan cluster and move 3 hosts to it and run the eval. E.g one vsan eval cluster and the old one (now consisting of 3 nodes) on the same vcenter.

possible and if so how? I'm unable to download any keys just a link to download vcenter and esxi again

regards

Good morning, I believe you will need to re-install the Hosts and then not license them.  For a period of time all features should be available to a host until the evaluation runs out.  Alternatively you could do nested ESXi to evaluate vSAN.  How to configure an All-Flash VSAN 6.0 Configuration using Nested ESXi? | virtuallyGhetto

Thank you, Zach.
