vSAN and Data Locality

[Luca82]

Hi everyone, I am very interested to deepen the new vsan storage policy for data locality. What I have found since now is the following information:

And how to we make sure that the compute and VMDKs for the datanodes are kept local on the same vSAN host? We do this by introducing a new policy for data locality in 6.7. Note that this is not yet freely available, but is only available via the RPQ process. if this is something you would be interested in, reach out to your local VMware account team who can put you in touch with our vSAN Product Managers.

Ok...now I just wanted to try/test this new functionality but I don't understand what is the RPQ process... could you help me to understand?

You can file a support request for it, or if you have a contact at VMware you can ask them to file it for you. Do you want to test this for a particular use case, or just to play around with it?
