Hi,
I've installed 4 6,0u2 ESXi hosts, each one equipped with 3 flash devices and a VCVA 6.0U2
I've built the VSAN cluster without enabling dedup and compression.
But when I try to build a raid5 storage policy, I do not find the Failure Tolerance Method setting to enable the erasure coding with RAID5,
I found the Failure Tolerance Method setting only after have enabled dedup and compression.
Is this right ?
That is surprising . I have 60U2 based vsan cluster where I am able to see 'Fault tolerance method' both option raid-0 and raid 5/6 without enabling dedupe/compression.
Can you confirm you had all flash disk group when you tried this option
Can you logout/login back to the webclient and check if you are able to see ( there is a know issue documented where some of the policies wont be seen unless you logout/login back to the UI)
Was it fresh installed or upgraded. If upgraded, have you done the disk version upgrade. I believe the features wont be seen if disk upgrades are not done ( and enabling dedup/compression automatically does a disk upgrade)

Nope - it should be available immediately. I suspect it was just a refresh issue with the UI.
I've done a new test and with logout/login back to the webclient and the policy appears.
I found that this could also be due to not having a 6.2 license applied to the VSAN.
It's actually a refresh of the VASA providers. Once those are seen the option become available.
I have VCSA 6.5.0 build 4602587, the fault tolerance method not showing up too. I used VSAN standard lic. Anyone can help?
I was having the same issue on VCSA 6.5.0 & VSAN 6.6 but fix from ChrisKuhnsabove worked for me.
