WSFC on VSAN 6.2 for in DC & Cluster vmdk shared disk

Good day,

Does anyone know if this process is supported for SQL 2016 on Windows 2012 R2 on ESXi 6 u3 with VSAN 6.2?

5 node cluster with VSAN 6.2 and we would like to create a WSFC for SQL.

Anyone attempted this and is it possible?

I have googles some and it is not as clear as to what is supported.

and how to go about implementing it.

WSFC creation in VSAN 6.1

Thank you,

Otto

Hello Otto,

Unfortunately, I don't believe that shared-disk WSFC is supported on vSAN, only SQL Server Always On Availability Groups (non-shared disk) are currently supported:
